Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 21 knots with gusts to 31 knots. Runway 02/20 is favored with a 21-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component (gusting to 5 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 4,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 30°C (86°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 20 knots.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations.

About Kahului International Airport
Overview
Kahului International Airport serves as a primary aviation gateway for Maui, Hawaii, located in the central part of the island. The airport handles significant commercial passenger traffic and supports inter-island transportation, serving the populated central region of Maui near the city of Kahului.
Flying Conditions
Maui's tropical maritime climate produces generally stable flying conditions with moderate winds and minimal extreme weather variations. The airport's low elevation of 54 ft MSL and coastal location contribute to predictable meteorological patterns that are typically favorable for aviation operations.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways with substantial lengths: Runway 02/20 at 6,995 feet and Runway 05/23 at 4,990 feet. Its geographic positioning provides pilots with multiple runway options based on wind direction, with runways oriented to accommodate prevailing trade winds common in the Hawaiian island chain.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will depend on current wind vectors, with the longer 02/20 runway offering more flexibility for larger aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions typical of island airports, and be prepared to utilize either runway based on current meteorological conditions at the time of arrival or departure.
