Puna Weather
Wednesday 4th February 2026
Today and Thursday mostly dry with cold nights and light winds.
Friday light southerly winds and continued mostly dry.
Saturday light to moderate south winds with showers increasing through the day, becoming scattered by night.
Sunday and most of next week moderate to breezy easterly trade winds with scattered windward showers, some of which could be heavy at times.
A ridge aloft over the region (1st 500mb anomaly chart) is keeping us mostly dry through Friday.
Saturday through Monday an upper level low to our west (2nd 500mb anomaly chart) will lead to periods of rain. Strong southwest winds aloft on Saturday turn to southerly on Sunday pulling deep tropical moisture over us. The proximaty of the upper level low and the abundant moisture combine for showers, possibly heavy.
Late Sunday/early Monday a massive high pressure cell approaches from the west driving moderate to breezy easterly flow near the surface over us. These windward winds will keep the risk of rain going through all of next week.
