The temp difference between south shore Honolulu and the North Shore was quite a contrast, sunny 80s vs showery low 70s with locals shivering around their electric space heaters. Coming from sleety Maine March, we much preferred the cool. Big humidity difference too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about HI climate, but how can an island in the middle of the ocean have big humidity differences? I’ll have to do some looking at it, I just pictured the islands all similar climate.

HoarfrostHubb Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 One part of Hawaii averages less than 10” of rain per year. That is nuts Other parts get 150”+ per year. Kevin would love that right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my younger days I thought it would be a terrible place to be a forecaster because the weather never changes, but in some sense it's more difficult because everything is so subtle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain shadows downwind of the higher volcanic mountains are found on all the major islands. It still amazes that HI has places that get rain similar to that at Phoenix and places (on Kauai) that are in the running for the Earth's wettest climate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whineminster Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Ya the southwesten coast of Oahu was super dry ......like cactai dry. But the north east coast was super lush with rain everyday. Had to even put a shawl on to take the chill off at the Pali while looking at the wild chickens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to even put a shawl on to take the chill off at the Pali while looking at the wild chickens On our 2016 visit, we had dinner one night at an Italian place in Honolulu, where it was 70s into late evening, and driving back to Haleiwa the car thermometer dropped down to 60 (with drizzle) as we went thru the notch between the mountains. Probably less than 1500' asl so I was a bit surprised at the coolness. Edit: Just traced our route on Google Earth, and our drive peaked at a few feet above 1,000, a half mile or so north of Dole Plantation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the defense did a "good" job of creating doubt, pointing to witness inconsistencies. However, that's what eyewitnesses do. The only way there would be no inconsistencies would be if all the witnesses had gathered and synchronized their stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
