What December feels like

December fills up between the holidays and the whale boats start running again. Mauna Kea often has snow on top by now, so you can be swimming in the morning and looking at a white summit in the afternoon.

Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 79° — bath-warm.
