The University of Hawaiʻi’s Climate Data Portal is rolling out a free email subscription service that delivers plain-language monthly climate summaries for user-selected locations across Maui, including drought conditions, rainfall, and temperature trends. Subscribers can track specific spots like Kīhei, Hāna, or West Maui using an interactive map.
- Property owners can subscribe to receive monthly email climate reports tied to specific Maui locations such as ʻĪao Valley, Hāna, Kīhei, and West Maui.
- The service translates complex climate data — including drought conditions, rainfall, and temperature patterns — into plain-language summaries.
- Users can select locations using traditional Hawaiian boundaries like moku and ahupuaʻa, as well as watershed and climate division boundaries.
- The project was completed with state and university support after its original federal drought grant was canceled in December 2025.
- An online dashboard accompanies the email summaries for those who want to explore deeper climate data.
