Hawaii has a tropical climate which is affected by the ocean which surrounds it. The temperatures in the summer rarely reach 90 degrees and are seldom below the mid 60’s. Snow falls in the high elevations and the state gets and average of 460 inches of rain a year.
Dominant industries throughout the history of Hawaii included: education, industries, military, pineapple, sandalwood, sugarcane, tourism, and whaling. Apparel and food processing are considered a part of the Hawaiian economy. Food exports include: coffee, livestock, macadamia nuts, pineapple and sugar cane. These items contribute a small amount to the economy because of the costs involved in getting the items to a mainland. Tourism has been the largest industry since Hawaii became a state in 1959, contributing almost 25% of the economy.
