 -The diamond head rises 761 feet about the Waikiki beach. The crater formed after a volcanic eruption more than 100,000 years ago. A type of rock called tuff, formed of ash and volcanic particles, cemented its walls. 19th-century sailors who mistook crystals for diamonds provided the name by which it’s commonly known. Hawaii now oversees a 475-acre state monument on Diamond Head and maintains a trail system that enables you to hike to the summit. 

- Rainfall averages between 25 and 30 inches a year. The islands receive as much as 15 times that amount in some places and less than one third of it in others. The endless variety of peaks, valleys, ridges, and broad slopes, gives Hawaii a climate that is different from the surrounding ocean, as well as a climatic variety within the islands. It does not have the extremes of cold winters and summer heat waves and it usually does not have hurricanes and hailstorms. However, Hawaii's tallest peaks do get their share of winter blizzards, ice, and snow. Highest temperatures may reach into the 90s. Thunderstorms, lightning, hail, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and droughts are not unknown.
