Shockingly, most homes in Hawaii don't have AC because the homes there are designed in such a way that the trade winds pass through, thus, a natural method of cooling.
Still, Honolulu I think that shows the locals are at least somewhat heat tolerant, more so than northern US cities, which often use A/C rather automatically. The lack of home A/C in Honolulu combined with its summers sounds like my kind of place.
Oymyakon is probably too much of a good thing for any cold lover but I would not tolerate uncomfortably hot highs and lows year round in Honolulu. Oymyakon it is.

I agree. Many Hawaiians move to Las Vegas afterall. Although, I wouldn't call Honolulu "hot" by any means. Hot would be Palm Springs or Miami, and both places still get cooler than Honolulu. I'd call Honolulu "warm year-round". There's a huge difference between a Honolulu summer and a Miami summer.
Clearly Honolulu, though I wouldn't call it the "mildest." I say that's San Diego or San Francisco. Honolulu has hotter average highs throughout the year than those cities.
I'd pick Oymyakon any day over Honolulu. For one, Oymyakon has a winter, which I enjoy greatly. Although Oymyakon's winters are much colder and than what I prefer and have less snow than I like, it still offers a superior winter experience than Honolulu does. Also, Oymyakon has less hot weather than Honolulu overall (hot in my case being anything over 80F).
It's almost a tie, because both are terrible climates.
Honolulu has drawbacks of mediterrenean and tropical climate (warm winter, hot, dry and sunny summer). It gets D, because at least it's not totally rainless and cooler than hot deserts.
Oymyakon is way too cold in winter and sunny in summer, so it gets a D-.
