“There is a wet season and a dry season. Both seasons are wet in contrast to the desert, but the wet season is notably wetter. Summer (dry season) is a little warmer.
But in general? It’s sunny every day. Rain showers in the mountains and foothills in the late afternoon. Rainbows.
It’s idyllic… but when every day is like that, and unlike in the desert there’s little diurnal fluctuation (night and day are both warm, very little temp difference), time just sort of stops.
You could go to the beach today. But if you don’t? That’s fine. it’ll be the same tomorrow. Or the mountains. Or on a walk.
Everything is just always sort of the same so the impetus to get out is actually pretty low once you’re accustomed to that as normal. Time flies if you don’t have the inner ambition to make things happen, to make each day different.
Without having the contrast of unpleasant weather, the pleasantries of tropical island life become pretty dull as they’re just the backdrop to everyday living.
Just my haole perspective.”
