It’s a cold day in Hawaii

Winter is over, spring is here, summer is on the way. Then why was it so cold last night?

Yes, I know. Cold is relative. An overnight low in the mid-60s can’t be considered cold, especially to those who shiver day and night where it’s really cold (Missouri, I’m lookin’ at you!). It’s not really cold here. It just feels like it sometimes.

It felt cold this morning.

There was a bit of a wind, which, for those who understand the Wind Chill Factor, makes whatever temperature feel cooler than that temperature, whatever it is. I tell my relatives from Missouri that I don’t bother to go outside when the daytime temperature hits below 70-degrees.  I like the overnight low at 70-degrees and the daytime high at 80-degrees. That’s perfect.

Hawaii may have more perfect days like that than any other place on the planet. I’m not keeping track and I haven’t been to all the other places on the planet but I grew up in Missouri and all the weather that everyone else on the planet gets they get in Missouri.

Sometimes in the same week.

I don’t know whether we’re in the middle of a global warming crisis or not, but it hasn’t been as cold and wet on an annual basis in Hawaii as it was 20 years ago.
