Lihue has a smaller annual temperature range compared to Oakland because of the influece of land-water contrast. The island of Lihue is more within the equator belt than Oakland, but is affected heavily by the ocean waters that surround it. The transference of temperature is a constant due to the ocean current throughout the year. There is no large land mass nearby that can affect the climate of the island.
Oakland thus get affected by the continental winds and the ocean current that bring cooler waters from the north. Even though both places are affected by the same ocean current, it is significantly higher on the coast due to the topographical features to the east and the cool waters brought down the coast.
