Puna Weather
Monday 27th July 2026
Today very humid with moderate to breezy northerly trade winds and widely scattered showers.
Tuesday very humid with moderate to breezy westerly winds and periods of rain, possibly heavy at times. Widespread VOG is possible.
Wednesday very humid with moderate to breezy southerly winds and periods of rain, possibly heavy at times. Widespread VOG is possible.
Thursday humid with moderate easterly trade winds and scattered showers.
Friday less humid.
Hurricane Fausto is weakening as it heads west-northwest into mid-level dry and stable air along with increasing westerly shear. This hostile environment will continue to degrade the storm as it passes by to our north on Tuesday. Tropical moisture associated with Fausto will bring humid conditions beginning today and lasting through Thursday. Moisture is high enough to support periods of heavy rains, most likely later today and again on Wednesday as the westerly winds on Tuesday place us on the dry side of our mountains.
Despite the dry air and high shear Fausto is forecast to remain a tropical storm as it passes by, due in large part to the warmer than normal sea surface temperatures in our region this summer.
