Puna Weather
Monday 12th January 2026
Today light winds and mostly dry.
Tonight into early Tuesday light to moderate northeast winds with scattered showers.
Tuesday through Thursday light winds and mostly dry.
Late Thursday through Sunday moderate to breezy northeast winds with scattered windward showers.
A trough passing by to our north will keep winds over us light most of the time through Thursday (surface animation). This troughs drags a weakening front over our island chain, likely bringing brief periods of scattered showers and northeast winds late tonight into early Tuesday.
Another front is scheduled for late Thursday/early Friday. High pressure builds in behind this front for a return of northeast trade winds through the weekend. Moisture from this front stalls near us, and when combined with the trade winds should bring scattered windward showers Friday through Sunday (rainfall animation). Mid-level dry air over the entire region (700-300mb moisture animation) will keep the showers somewhat in check.
