Puna Weather

Friday 3rd April 2026

Today through Sunday light winds and mostly dry with cool nights. VOG is possible.

Monday light to moderate east winds with widely scattered showers.

Tuesday through Friday humid with moderate to breezy southerly winds and periods of rain, possibly heavy at times. Some thunder may also be possible.

Weakening high pressure to our northeast leaves us with light winds through the upcoming weekend.

Our next weather maker is deep layered trough that amplifies to our northwest this week (200mb animation). This feature places us in southerly flow pulling deep tropical moisture over us through Friday. At this point south winds do not look to be strong enough to cause problems.

Long range models weaken the trough next weekend, turning our flow to southwesterly. There is plenty of anomalously warm waters to our southwest and this direction is likely to keep the deep tropical moisture over us for longer, possibly much longer (moisture anomaly animation).
