HONOLULU -- Honolulu's run of record heat came to an end Wednesday, but it may not have been any cooler.The weather has been warm most of the month, with highs in the 90s the past nine days.However, between 11 a.m. and noon, the city's temperature dropped from Wednesday's high of 89 degrees to 86 degrees, the same hour a new thermometer was installed at Honolulu International Airport.The old one had been showing a warm bias of a degree or two, officials said. The National Weather Service said that is not significant enough to throw out the data and recent records.
