Puna Weather
Tuesday 1st July 2025
Today through the upcoming weekend widely scattered night and early morning showers with mostly dry days. Light easterly trade winds increasing to breezy by the weekend. Comfortably low humidity through the period with dew points in the mid-60s. The easterly winds should keep most windward areas free of VOG.
A ridge is building in overhead (mid-level animation). This ridge will support a low inversion over us, keeping showers to a minimum for a week or more.
Far to our east, and off the coast of Mexico is hurricane Flossie. Flossie is taking a northerly path and will die quickly over colds waters.
In Flossie's wake conditions remain ripe for development of another tropical low. If this one forms, it is likely to take a more southerly path, being guided by the low level trade flow. Even though we are looking at a period of low shear in the eastern and central Pacific, the waters between us and this potential low are below the 26C threshold, which would degrade any storm headed our way from the east.
