I just realized we are onlyl about a month from the shortest Day of the year

I was thinking today watching just how low the sun was traveling compared to the summer and realized that we are only about 1 month away from the shortest day of the year. It surprised me a lot because I was just in Kauai a few weeks ago where the sun is still very bright. I noticed I had to get used to coming back to California where there was less light from the sun this time of year. But, luckily the weather has been pretty nice (60s and 70s during the day mostly) and only colder at night. I think where I live on the coast it has only gone down to about maybe 46 degrees. However, inland about 20 miles it has gone down to around 31 Degrees in farming areas so far this fall.
