As some of you may know, Kauai has slightly shifted warm and cool seasons compared to areas in cooler climates. We have a late summer that sometimes peaks in October, with humid weather in the mid-80s °F, and a late winter that you don’t really feel until late January through February. It may look like a tropical paradise out here, but this past week has been a little chilly for anyone acclimated to constant warmth, and surprisingly windy on some days. Here are a few photos of our clear skies and our gusty days and nights.
