Weather is rarely a concern on this sunny and temperate isle. Daytime temperatures range between 75 and 85 degrees year-round, with the warmest weather in the summer and most of the rain falling between November and March. (Hana, however, tends to be rainy a lot.) The west and south sides of the island are warmest and driest, while the east and north are a bit cooler and, therefore, more lush. Maui is also famous for being the windiest Hawaiian island, particularly the north shore in winter, which is why it is so attractive to windsurfers and kiteboarders. Interestingly, the slowest seasons on Maui are the months when the weather is finest: mid-April to mid-June and September to mid-December. That said, it is best to avoid the last week of April, when Asian holidays attract huge numbers of tourists from that part of the world. Whale watching is best between December and April.
