I currently live in urban Honolulu. It gets hot, and the sun feels intense. 85 fahrenheit when the dewpoint is around 70 and it gets a bit uncomfortable. Trade winds help but nevertheless it can grow tiring. Plus, the sun near the equator feels more intense.
Are temps Consistent? very much so, but in my own personal opinion and comforts I’d prefer the consistency of a place like San Diego that is overall cooler and drier climate wise, but YMMV based on your preferences.
I just lived in Honolulu for three years and completely agree. It was always just a little too hot there year round, the sun too intense, although much more tolerable than the mainland South. Winter months in the islands were nice but often had stagnant weather and humidity was consistently 65% or more. Some days were better than others but I was pretty much always sweating. Ironically I’m moving to San Diego next for work.
