Puna Weather
Sunday 22nd March 2026
Today and Monday light winds with periods of heavy rain and thunder possible. Widespread VOG is also possible.
Tuesday and Wednesday light to moderate northeast trade winds with frequent showers, some of which could be heavy at times.
Thursday and Friday light to moderate northeast trade winds with scattered showers, mostly during the night and early morning hours.
Our Kona low is weakening and moving off to the northeast today, with the heavy rain band weakening as it moves over us. Despite the weakening trend, deep tropical moisture remains in place, as well as colder air aloft. As such, downpours and thunder are still possible through Monday.
High pressure buids to our north for a return of northeast trade winds late Monday or early Tuesday (surface chart). With deep tropical moisture still over the region, the trade winds will initially produce significant windward showers. Drier air filters into the region toward mid-week.
