Hawaii (English: Hawaii, in Hawaiian Hawaiʻi, pronounced /haˈwaʔiː/ and /haˈvaʔiː/) is a state in the United States. The state of Hawaii is part of the larger archipelago of the Hawaiian Islands. The population of Hawaii is 1,374,810 (2011). Hawaii has a total area of 28,311 km².
Hawaii was admitted as the 50th state of the United States on August 21, 1959.
The climate is tropical, the rainy season is from December to the end of March. Summer is relatively warm, the average temperature is around 30°, but since the air humidity reaches 70%-80%, the heat is not felt so strongly. There are two mountain ranges that cool the climate.
Hawaii, along with Arizona, are the two US states that do not use daylight saving time. The reason for this is the proximity of the state to the equator and the small difference in the length of days in summer and winter.
The tropical climate, beaches, active volcanoes and varied topography make the archipelago a popular destination for tourists, surfers, biologists and volcanologists. Due to its central location in the North Pacific and labor migration since the 19th century, local traditions have been heavily influenced by North American and East Asian cultures. Permanent residents (along with many visitors and US military personnel) number over one million.
The state’s official nickname is the ” Aloha State “.
