March typically marks the transition from Hawaii’s wetter season to its drier one. On Maui, this period often presents a blend of conditions. Daytime temperatures generally range from the high 70s to low 80s Fahrenheit (mid-20s to high 20s Celsius). Rainfall is less frequent than in the preceding winter months, but showers can still occur, particularly in the island’s typically wetter windward areas. Ocean temperatures are generally comfortable for swimming.
Understanding typical conditions on the island during this month is crucial for planning a successful trip. Travelers can pack appropriately, anticipate potential weather-related disruptions to outdoor activities, and select accommodation and activities accordingly. Historically, March has been a popular time to visit, offering a balance of pleasant weather and fewer crowds compared to the peak winter season. This shoulder season can often present value for travelers in terms of flight and accommodation pricing.
