Puna Weather
Monday 15th June 2026
Today and Tuesday light winds and mostly dry, VOG possible.
Wednesday and Thursday light to moderate southeast winds and humid with scattered showers, possibly heavy at times. VOG is possible.
A trough passing by to our north keeps our trade winds relatively light through Friday. High pressure builds to our northeast this weekend for a return of moderate easterly trade winds.
A weak surface trough is forecast to form to our southeast on Tuesday, and then track towards our island. This feature brings deep tropical moisture and warm temperatures to our windward coast on Wednesday and Thursday. Dew points rise into the lower 70s but mid-level dry and stable air will likely limit the rainfall to scattered. Nonetheless... it should be noted that recent similar patterns brought significantly more rain that forecast, because of this I've included the risk of heavy rain for this period.
Farther east another weak low has the potential to briefly develop tropical characteristics before high shear and mid-level dry air degrade the system. Remnant moisture is forecast to pass just to our south. If the path is more northerly, it could bring warm and humid weather to our island this weekend.
