yahseeker - it might be helpful if you say what type of climate you're looking for. There are micro-climates here and someone living a few hundred yards from another can experience different conditions. For instance, hawaiideborah lives fairly close to me (Kaloli Point in HPP) but trade winds near the cliffs doesn't mean you get them a few hundred yards inland - it depends on the topology and even your neighbor's vegetation and location of their house. Also, a mile inland from my location means more rain and less sun than I experience. That's all in the same subdivision.
Then there's what some call a brutal sun and those that love the very same thing! Personally I hate September and October where I am. It gets very hot (generally 3 or 4 degrees higher than Hilo airport when it's sunny), little wind (unless you're by the cliffs) and quite high humidity. Right now I'm wrapped up because I think it's cold but where I grew up and lived for nearly 30 years the current temperature would be considered balmy and the TV weather people would be telling us that sleeping might be difficult tonight!
