HAWAII (in pale letters) is shown because is the name of a state (like TEXAS, FLORIDA etc). States (of USA) are shown in the same way as Countries.
TZ says "Islands are polygons ....".
Countries are polygons too, but their names are shown correctly.
IMO, I think island names must be "treated" the same way as Country names
(to overcome the "problem").

@ChadTyler
For me seems OK
There is no 48 hrs duration
You must count the accumulation from model's reference time.
Hi Thanks for using my plugin!!! Yep, I fly an autogyro.
@idefix37
Can we find the pro-covid AMDAR observations?
@eapanosra
Yes! You can customize color scale as you want.

One aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic has been a reduction in aircraft flights
and thus of the aircraft-based observations available to weather prediction centres.
The observations are used together with many others
to help estimate the state of the Earth system at the start of forecasts.

From the other hand, private flights have seen a significant rise in demand
for group evacuations from affected areas
and from passengers who are looking to protect themselves and their families.
@ofir-goldstein The picker shows interpolated values, if you zoom to level 8 or more, it stays constant.
@idefix37 This is not so straightforward, because cities are considered as points and we show forecast for them. Islands are polygons and we do not have feature providing point forecast for polygons. I admit that it is doable task, but it is also exception that must be handled separately and with care. Some "quick solution" may lead to misunderstandings. Example: many islands have its main big city where most people live and it is tipically on the sea shore. Those people would like to see temperature for their home. But if we would show temperature of the central point of the island it can be something totally different, because many islands have conic shape (mountains) and the temperature on the hill top could be much different.
One extreme example - Big Island of Hawaii, 7 degrees in island center, but 20 degrees in big cities.
Yes, there are approaches to show both island name and reasonable forecast values, but it is not as easy as it may look.
Another effect of equinox is that day/night boundaries are straight and parallel in Mercator projection.
