The reasons for Maui’s drought

Geographical location, climate change.

1. Maui is located in the Hawaiian Islands and is greatly affected by the oceanic climate. Due to the regulating effect of the ocean, the climate in the region is relatively stable, but it also causes water to evaporate quickly, thereby exacerbating drought.

2. Global climate warming causes high-pressure air masses in the Pacific to move toward Hawaii, leaving the region in a dry state for a long time, suppressing the moist airflow from the Pacific, resulting in reduced precipitation and further exacerbating the drought.
