Puna Weather
Tuesday 4th August 2026
Today through Friday warm and humid with little or no wind and only widely scattered showers.
Saturday and Sunday trade winds return along with even more humidity and a good chance for numerous showers.
A series of weak lows are set to bring a bunch of tropical moisture our way over the next couple of weeks. Right now some low based moisture from our warmer than normal ocean and ex-Genevieve keeps things a little uncomfortable through Friday.
This weekend a mid-level trough to our east moves overhead along with even more moisture. At the same time our trades return. The combination of onshore winds, abundant moisture and some instability adds up to likely soaking rains.
The MJO went all the way around the world and is making its way back to our basin in a week or two. Models show deep tropical moisture heading our way... can it really get even more humid? We'll have to keep an eye out for an storms that may form during that time, so stay tuned.
