Upcountry Maui Webcam
Watch the Upcountry Maui webcam live from the slopes of the Haleakala Volcano.
This is a unique fixed position webcam. It provides still images looking towards the southeastern sky and at the southern slope of the Haleakala volcano. The images are periodically updated.
Most notably, there is a time lapse selection that allows viewing from midnight of the current day to the present time. On a clear night you can see stars and planets moving across the sky.
There are options to change playback speed, make full screen, select picture in picture and also download.
The main website has links to a wealth of weather information such as satellite loops, forecast and advisories, storm updates, solar activity, rainfall data by day, month and year plus much more. It is one of the better, live weather data websites that I have run across.
About Upcountry Maui - Pukalani
The town of Pukalani, located in Upcountry Maui, sits at an elevation of about 1500 feet. Upcountry stretches up the slopes past Pukalani and encompasses the southwestern slopes of the Haleakala volcano up to about 4000 feet.
This area is known for much cooler weather, more clouds and slightly more rain than other areas in Maui such as the drier beach towns of Wailea, Kaanapali and Lahaina.
It is a beautiful area, removed the the hustle and bustle of mainstream Maui that has great views looking west towards Kihei.
Pukalani is primarily residential and since it is away from the beaches, tourism does not impact it as much.
Most likely you will pass right by Pukalani on the way to the Haleakala volcano, the Surfing Goat Dairy and the Kula Botanical Gardens.
Pukalani Weather
Pulalani has a very mild and comfortable climate. It experiences slightly more rain and clouds than the western Maui beach towns. High temperatures are generally in the 70s and low 80s with nights in the 60s.
The Haleakala volcano provides a shield from the higher rainfall amounts that occur in the rainforest town of Hana, just on the other side of the volcano. The clouds often stream off the top of Haleakala and cover Upcountry each day starting about 9am until mid afternoon when they burn off some. Rarely do you get a day without any clouds.
