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").

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.

Clouds in light yellow are those with low tops.
It also has to do with sun angle.

Not to be confused with dust-sand storms, they look more brown.
Although those data (country names) come from same source (openstreet)
they are not the same in windy.com and in windy maps.
