I recently purchased a copy of Hawaiian Style magazine and was admiring photos of the beautiful high-end luxury homes in Hawaii. I noticed that many homes with huge lanais had access not via sliding glass doors, but via their living room. I mean it appeared that their entire exterior wall just slide into or folded into a side wall pocket. The melding of indoor and outdoor space was something that doesn't occur on the East coast or in any fine homes in Asia tat I have seen. It just wouldn't be practical because of the mosquitos, especially in tropical Asia, although I see things like this in Bali, I can't see how they tolerate the mosquitos. Then there are typhoons with sideways rain, but then I guess with that huge covered lanai, rain is not a problem.
So I want to ask, are mosquitos just not a problem in most areas? I heard there are a lot of microclimates on Oahu, like one side of the island has more rain and is more humid than the other side. I suppose there must also be seasonal differences in humidity and rain as well no? So are there parts of Oahu where you don't really have many mosquitos, I mean at least at certain times of year? I think many of those homes were in Kahala and other Diamond Head neighborhoods with maybe a home in Lanikai as well.
