Puna Weather

Thursday 5th November 2026

Today moderate east or northeast trade winds with scattered windward showers.

Early Friday through early Saturday very humid with breezy northeast winds and frequent showers, possibly heavy at times. There is some risk of thunder and flooding.

Saturday into early next week less humid with moderate easterly trade winds and scattered windward showers.

Our next weather maker is moisture associated with a tropical wave passing by to our south. Embedded within the wave is Invest 95C. The distrubance poses no risk to us directly, but it does tighten the pressure gradient over our island better supporting windward rainfall.

The tropical moisture exits to our west late Saturday for less humidity and less heavy rain. Persistent ridging to our north continues to maintain east or northeast trade winds through much of next week. Dew point are more comfortable and windward showers will be mostly during the night and early morning hours.

Next up is a possible Kona low around the 15th of the month.
