Lahaina Noon - Fun Facts!

Lahaina Noon is today!  What's Lahaina Noon?  It's a phenomena that only happens in the tropics - and Hawaii is the only state in the nation where it occurs.  During Lahaina Noon, the sun is directly overhead at high noon so objects standing straight up (like parking meters) do not have a shadow.  See below for exact times across the state!
