Kau District Overview:
Kau has a varied climate due to its size. From the town of Volcano, at 3000 ft above sea level where it is cool and crisp and most everyone has fireplaces to warm the homes at night, to South Point, the southernmost point in the US where rain falls only 35 days out of the year, Kau has seasons and weather for everyone.
