Puna Weather
Tuesday 6th January 2026
Rain, possibly heavy at times, this morning, decreasing in frequency through the day. Winds moderate to breezy from the east-southeast, also decreasing through the day.
Tonight through early Thursday scattered windward showers with light to moderate easterly trade winds.
Late Thursday through Saturday light winds and mostly dry with possible VOG.
A weakening trough aloft to our west (500mb animation) supports deep moisture and cold air aloft over us this morning.
Drier air moves in at the mid-level later today (700-300mb moisture animation) for a decreasing threat of heavy rain. Low level moisture does continue to ride in on easterly trade flow for more typical scattered windward showers into Thursday.
A front passing by to our north brings light winds Friday and Saturday (survace animation), this should lead to mostly dry conditions most areas, but possibly allow for VOG to pool near the surface.
