Today’s Weather on Maui … In Two Snapshots

Hawaii’s weather can be quite changeable … particularly here on Maui where little micro-climates can occur in many different parts of the island.

When it rains here, it really rains. I took this photo from our deck at about 7:30 this morning … sheets of rain were just thundering down. After it stopped, I went out to check our rain gauge: almost an inch-and-a-half … in just 40 minutes!

Now, just a few hours later, skies are blue, the sun is shining, and there’s a light breeze. The temperature is a balmy 76 degrees. Anyone for the beach?

People back in New England are fond of saying, “If you don’t like the weather here, just wait a couple of minutes.”
