Puna Weather
Tuesday 16th June 2026
Today light winds and mostly dry with VOG possible.
Wednesday and Thursday light to moderate southeast winds and humid with scattered showers, possibly heavy at times. VOG possible.
Friday through Sunday light northeast winds and mostly dry.
A weak surface trough to our southeast is headed our way and will bring warm and humid weather along with the threat of periods of heavy rain Wednesday into early Thursday. The southeast wind direction isn't as efficient at making rain as east or northeast, but recent similar conditions brought more rain than forecast so I'm going to lean into the idea of a good soaking most areas.
Farther to our east is another surface trough which has the potential to briefly develop tropical characteristics. High shear and mid-level dry air to between us and this low will lead to it degrading well before passing by us. Models show the remnant moisture from Invest 93E passing by to our south this weekend.
