The average rainfall is about 16 inches per year，which mainly takes place during the winter months of October through early April，with very little rainfall during the summer. However，both seasons experience a similar number of rainy days. Light showers happen in summer，while heavier rainfalls happen in winter.
As the largest city and airport location in the Hawaii Islands，Honolulu acts as a natural gateway to the islands' large tourism industry，which brings 10 billion and has the greatest influence on the local economy(经济)every year. Honolulu's location in the Pacific also makes it a large business and trading centre. Other important parts of the city's income(收入)includes military defense，research and development，and manufacturing.
Sunny beaches and a sky-blue sea coast make Honolulu a best place for holiday. Honolulu is not only a place of beautiful sights，but also a wonderful place for shopping. The world's largest open-air shopping centre，Ala Moana Centre with many international shops，is located here. However，it might take tourists lots of time to get there because of the traffic jam and the lack of subway system in Honolulu. Except for that，it is still worth visiting.
