Question

Going to Kampala sept 11. Do I need to cancel how much will the hurricane affect the weather there? Staying on the west side of Kaanapli

Answer

Visiting Ka’anapali, Maui in September generally falls within Hawaii’s hurricane season, which runs from June through November. However, hurricanes directly hitting Maui are rare. Most storms pass well to the south or west of the islands. That said, heavy rains, strong winds, and choppy surf can occur if a tropical system comes closer.

For a trip on September 11, here are some considerations:

Monitor forecasts: Keep an eye on the National Weather Service (NWS) Hawaii forecast and the Central Pacific Hurricane Center for updates as your travel dates approach.
Travel insurance: Consider purchasing travel insurance that covers weather-related cancellations or interruptions, especially during hurricane season.
Resort amenities: West Maui resorts like those in Ka’anapali are well-prepared for heavy rain or storms. Pools and beaches may close temporarily during rough weather, but accommodations themselves are usually safe and comfortable.

Most years, September in Ka’anapali sees normal tropical weather — warm temperatures, occasional showers, and the potential for brief windier days if a storm system passes nearby. Canceling your trip is rarely necessary unless a direct hurricane threat is forecasted.

Be flexible with outdoor plans: Hikes, snorkeling, and boat trips may be rescheduled if conditions become rough.
Pack light rain gear: Afternoon showers are common and short-lived.
Check airline and hotel policies: If a hurricane or tropical storm is forecasted, many airlines and hotels offer flexible rescheduling or refunds.

In summary, you likely do not need to cancel your trip, but stay informed and prepared for occasional tropical weather. Most travelers enjoy a normal, sunny Maui experience in September.
