Maui weather may vary considerably on different parts of the island with the west and south sides enjoying nice weather year-round while the north and east shores, which are more exposed to the northeast trade winds, see more rain. Expect temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees F most days, sometimes dipping into the 60s during winter and topping 90 during the hottest days of summer. Trade winds typically help to make conditions comfortable even on the warmest days. Higher elevations such as the summit of Haleakala Volcano can see very cold temperatures so bring some warm gear if you are driving to the top. Ocean conditions vary each day though typically the northern shores will have the calmest waters during the summer months and the southern shores will have the calmest waters during the winter. For swimming and ocean activities visit Maui's lifeguarded beaches, obey all posted warning signs and ask about the ocean conditions on that day for the activity you choose.

Maui history is steeped in myth and legend. The island is named after the demigod Maui who is said to have pulled the Hawaiian islands up from the sea and lassoed the sun at Haleakala Volcano. When the renown Hawaiian King Kamehameha was a young warrior in 1790 he took control of Maui by winning a fierce battle in Iao Valley, and Lahaina soon became the capital of the united Hawaiian Islands under King Kamehameha. From the 1840s to the 1860s Lahaina was a major port for whaling ships. Sugarcane soon became a driving force of Hawaii's economy with plantation workers coming from China, Japan, the Philippines and many other places. Maui's first sugar mill opened in 1828 and the industry would have a major role in shaping the future of the island's economy. Hawaii became a state in 1959 and jet airliners began bringing more tourists to the Islands. By the mid-1970s about one million visitors were coming to Maui each year, and that number would double during the next decade as new Maui resort areas including Kaanapali and Wailea were developed. Learn about this region's past on the self-guided Lahaina Historic Trail visiting 62 sites of historic significance with bronze plaques providing information about everything from the whaling era to missionaries and architecture.
