Climate Battle: Brownsville vs Honolulu (hot, warm, temperatures, storms)

[Hawaii4evr]

Which climate do you prefer? I chose Honolulu for warmer winters and less summer heat/mugginess.

honolulu, no doubt. Brownsville would be too extreme heatwise for me just like where I live now is too cold. Hawaii's climate is perfect, but I'll never live there.

Brownsville. It has a cooler period, for more seasonal variation and for those who like to have a "winter" and also a lot more thunderstorms.

Honolulu in a heartbeat. Brownsville is much cloudier and bound to feel more oppressive with it given the temperatures.

Ugh, both of them are kind of gross and hot. I'd give them both C's most likely. Honolulu I suppose.

I have to go with Honolulu because you can't get a freeze there, whereas there will be winters when Brownsville gets a hard freeze. That means no coconut palms! Althought I believe they do grow coconut palms in Brownsville, they just get killed off every couple decades. Plus you have to deal with intense humidity and bugs in Brownsville. I assume the humidity is related to the warmer ocean temps of the Gulf compared to cooler waters surrounding Hawaii in the Pacific.

This is true, that's why there's a monsoon in Brownsville that Hawaii doesn't really get. However, winter waters around Hawaii are much warmer than Brownsville's winter waters.

Honolulu though I don't like it much due to lack of seasons. Brownsville is just too hot and humid in summer.

I think Honolulu temps are perfect but it's horribly dry but it's still better than TX.
