Hawaii in November
 

Has anyone been to Maui in November? Just wondering what the weather was like. Thanks!

WEATHER INFO FROM A *HAWAII VACATIONS* WEBSITE:

November - Generally a transition month between summer and winter, with weather of both seasons common. The first real winter storms to the North and NW send down a cold front or two, with some showery spells, especially after the middle of the month. Winter storms also more regularly send large waves onto the North and West shores. Temperatures begin to dip noticeably (before you start packing your down jackets....please realize that when I say "dip down", I mean from the high 80's down to the middle 80's! :-). November in some years begins the rainy season. Tradewinds are blowing on the average 64% of the time. Sea water temperature averages about 77 degrees F.
November averages for different locations on Maui
Lahaina 86-67 F. (30.0C-19.4C) 2.15" of precipitation
Hana 81-68 F. (27.2C-20.0C) 8.67" of precipitation

Kahului 84-68 F. (28.9C-20.0C) 2.59" of precipitation
Kahului % of possible daytime sunshine: 67%

P.S.: These temps are for Maui, but they will be pretty much the same for all the islands, with Kauai a bit cooler than the others.

Doesn't the rain come in tropical downpours and in the evening/morning? My sense is you'd have to be very unlucky to have rain all day or enough to ruin a vacation if you're staying in South Maui (Wailea, etc.). Is this correct?

Cotes, yes, you're right. If you're on the Southern parts of the Islands, it rarely rains in winter, although more likely than the summer. But on the Northern parts of the islands, it can be a different story during the winter months.

We were in Maui in early November of this year, and every day was sunny and beautiful! We Stayed in Wailea (which is the drier side of the island). I think you'll be just fine, perhaps some rain, but not enough to ruin your vacation.
