Puna Weather
Saturday 18th May 2024
Today through Monday mostly light winds and only widely scattered showers most areas. South facing shores and slopes could see more persistent showers today and Sunday.
Late Monday winds become easterly with a more typical pattern of moderate Trade winds and scattered windward showers mostly during the night and early morning hours. This pattern is forecast to persist for a week or so.
The Kona low near Kauai lifts north allowing for a return of our easterly Trade winds early next week (1st chart).
El Nino is fading fast (3rd chart). This summer all eyes will be on the tropical Atlantic as shear is expected to be near or below normal and sea surface temperatures are near record levels.
