Puna Weather
Sunday 17th May 2026
Today humid with light to moderate easterly trade winds and numerous showers, heavy at times.
Monday and Tuesday humid with light to moderate easterly trade winds and scattered showers, mostly during the night and early morning hours.
Wednesday through Friday light to moderate easterly trade winds with only a few showers.
An upper level trough to our north is continuing to enhance moisture to our east and support some instability over us. A persistent surface ridge to our north will support easterly trade winds for another week or more. The combination of favorable onshore flow and low level moisture combined with the cold pool aloft to our north should keep the treat of heavy showers going for another 12 to 24 hours, possibly a little longer.
The upper level trough moves away with decreasing effects for us on Monday. Residual moisture to our east gets pushed towards our shores by the background trade flow for continued humid and showery conditions into Tuesday.
Drier air is forecast to move overhead later in the week for a trend of decreasing showers and less humidity.
