Puna Weather
Sunday 18th January 2026
Today and Monday light to moderate east winds turning to southeast with only a few brief showers.
Tuesday and Wednesday light winds and mostly dry.
Thursday and Friday moderate north or northeast winds with scattered showers, some of which could be briefly heavy at times.
An upper level trough passes by to our north Thursday/Friday (200mb animation).
Cold air aloft associated with this trough destabilizes our atmosphere for the risk of some heavier showers. A front also associated with the trough is likely to stall before reaching us, nonetheless winds do eventually turn to northeasterly while the cold pool is still overhead, so we might get a good shot of rain.
