Puna Weather
Sunday 6th September 2026
Today humid with light winds out of the southeast and periods of rain, possibly heavy at times.
Monday morning humid with moderate southerly winds and periods of rain, possibly heavy at times.
Late Monday and Tuesday very humid with moderate southerly winds and frequent rain, likely heavy at times. Some flooding is possible. Some thunder is also possible.
Wednesday and Thursday humid with moderate easterly trade winds and frequent windward showers.
Deep tropical moisture to the east of CAT4 Lowell is headed our way as the storm moves north and eventually combines with Karina. The plume of southerly moisture over us brings our dew point into the upper 70s late Monday and Tuesday with precitable water well over 2". Some cooler air is in place due to upper level trough over the region, this brings CAPE to near 1000J/kg, enough to the risk of thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday.
When trades return Wednesday and Thursday they have plenty of low level moisture to work with and this should keep our wet weather going for a bit longer.
Drier air is forecast to finally arrive Friday through Sunday of next week, possibly followed by more tropical moisture.
