This section also works on the use of the words o and i such that the weather in Kaunakakai (ke anilā i Kaunakakai) vs. Kaunakakai's weather (ke anilā o Kaunakakai) would be different grammatically but with similar meanings.
Can it be translated as: How is today's weather in Kaunakakei?

Generally, it is just as good to say that. However, they are trying to teach grammar and such. So that meaning does not correspond exactly to the prompt.
Today's weather would be ke anilā o kēia lā
in Kaunakakai would be i Kaunakakai
So that would be Pehea ke anilā o kēia lā i Kaunakakai ?
I think there is a separate prompt for that question. It is fascinating how they did this section in order to teach the words o and i. Those small words are in part what is making the difference in exact meaning.
