Puna Weather
Friday 23rd October 2026
Today through Sunday light winds and a bit more humid but only widely scattered showers with VOG possible.
Monday through Thursday light winds and humid with periods of rain and possible VOG.
Low pressure drops south from the Gulf of Alaska over the next couple of days displacing our northeast Pacific high to the north through most of next week (Pacific basin surface loop). Without trade winds in place we can expect light winds and the risk of VOG.
In the middle and upper layers a trough deepens near the Dateline pumping tropical moisture over us late Monday through Wednesday or Thursday (mid-level moisture loop). With the upper level feature so far to the west, temperatures aloft are likely to be relatively warm limiting dynamics. Some low/mid-level convergence is possible, but given the light winds and relatively stable atmosphere widespread heavy rains are not looking likely, nonetheless most areas should get a good soaking as there is plenty of moisture with precipitable water values forecast to be well above 2" through the period.
