Puna Weather
Monday 11th May 2026
Today through Thursday light to moderate easterly trade winds with mostly dry days and scattered showers during the night and early morning hours.
Friday through Monday light to moderate easterly trade winds and a bit humid with scattered showers.
High pressure to our northeast keeps light to moderate easterly trade winds over us through next weekend (surface animation). Around Friday an upper level trough dives south and near our island (200mb). This trough helps to enhance upstream moisture and possible enhance dynamics. Tropical moisture being pulled up by this trough is likely to remain to our east, keeping drier air at the higher levels over us (700-300hPa). Nonetheless the favorable wind direction should allow for an uptick in showers Friday through Monday.
Despite warm sea surface temperaures surrounding our island, forecast models keep tropical moisture far to our south for another couple of weeks.
