I don't think it has ever been over 100 (recorded) in Hawaii. 95-100 is about the absolute record high level. Even 90 would be VERY nasty - people complain about the heat if it gets over 85. Kind of like a New England summer. The ocean moderates the temperature, and humid air is harder to heat than dry air. (for various reasons including opacity and cloud formation) In the summer you may notice that the Dakotas are one of the hottest parts of the US - dry air.
