Better than Hawaii?

By far. It is not humid here & other than the last few months, hardly ever rains. Warm/hot during the day, and cool at night. Even in the winter, a cold day is 55 degrees.

You want to plan a picnic, or out door event 2 weeks or months in the future? No problem, because the weather will always be good. Never too windy to play golf, tennis or any other outdoor activity. My kids play baseball almost every weekend, year round and very,very rarely get rained out.

And because of the weather - no bugs. You don't go around slapping yourself trying to kill mosquitoes or waving away flies.

“Better than Hawaii?”

Oh there’s no comparison. In Hawaii, for much of the year it can be miserable because of the humidity. If the trades stop, it’s awful. You are sweating most of the time, even small things like doing housework can leave you drenched. Ninety degrees in Hawaii is like 110 degrees in California because of the humidity. A lot of the time, the weather is such where it will rain 10 or 15 minutes then the sun will come out, then it will rain, then the sun, etc. It turns the air into a sauna.

Then in the winter it’s cooler, but because of the humidity you start seeing mold and mildew growing on your walls and other places. The heat, rain and humidity take a huge toll on your house, as well as the roads which are something out of a third-world country with all the holes, cracks and bumps.

And did I mention the vog? If the tradewinds stop, within a day the state is not only a sauna, it is covered with ugly brown volcanic haze which gets worse and worse the longer the winds don’t blow, and which leaves most people coughing and sneezing, with itchy or teary eyes. It’s worse than L.A. used to be on a bad day.

I’ve lived in either Hawaii or California my whole life, and I would take California weather in a heartbeat. That being said, even though Hawaii suffers with a lot of the same problems as California (and the homeless situation is unbelievable), I don’t think it is as messed up as California is now. California once was doing a lot better than Hawaii, but once Pete Wilson left office it’s been straight downhill ever since.
