Growing up in Hawaii, Dylan DiMarchi was a sailor. And he watched as the weather shifted throughout his childhood, and adolescence.
“I’ve been sailing for two decades now, and noticing patterns in the weather is our main job as sailors,” he said. “There are definitely changes in certain venues. Like, in my home venue [on Oahu] Kāneʻohe, we’ve seen wind directions and strength definitely and measurably change over the last two decades. While it’s hard to know exactly what dynamics are leading to that change on that island in the Pacific, it’s really important we spend a lot of time looking at weather models.”
