Puna Weather
Sunday 21st June 2026
Today and Monday light easterly winds with widely scattered showers. VOG is possible.
Tuesday and Wednesday moderate easterly trade winds with scattered windward showers.
Weak troughing in the area continues to prevent high pressure from building to our north through Monday.
Tuesday high pressure becomes re-established to our northeast for a return of easterly trade flow. A low level trough to our east is embedded in the easterly trade flow and will arrive on our shores on Tuesday (moisture animation). The returning easterly flow combined with the remnant moisture associated with this trough combine to bring scattered showers to our shores both Tuesday and Wednesday.
Both the GFS and European models show tropical activity picking up in the eastern Pacific in 7 to 10 days (eastern Pacific surface pressure animation).
