TIMELINE
This is a weather/operational assessment based on available forecast data and your selected drone profile — not airspace clearance or aviation authorization. Always check NOTAMs, local regulations, and your drone's own manual before flying.
Conditions last updated 08:15 local time
Maui's volcanic terrain (Haleakalā rises over 3,000 m from sea level within a short distance) creates dramatically different microclimates around the island — the windward north/east coast is far wetter and windier than the leeward west/south coast in the SAME weather system, so checking the specific side of the island matters more than a single island-wide forecast.

ERA5 describes the average over a grid cell about 30 km wide, so local effects are smoothed out: cliffs, valleys, coasts and buildings can be windier or calmer than shown.
