Puna Weather
Tuesday 6th October 2026
Today moderate easterly trade winds with widely scattered showers.
Wednesday light southeast winds with increasing humidity and only widely scattered showers. VOG is possible.
Thursday and Friday moderate southerly winds and humid with showers, possibly briefly heavy at times Thursday night and Friday morning.
Saturday light winds and a little less humid with widely scattered showers and possible VOG.
High pressure to our north supports easterly trade winds today.
Wednesday through Friday an upper level trough to our northwest (200mb loop) places us in deep southerly flow which pulls tropical moisture over us (moisture anomaly loop). Dew points jump to 74F but limited dynamics and the unfavorable wind direction limits showers. Our best chance is late Thursday and early Friday due to some low level convergence.
The upper level trough exits to our northeast this weekend, but it takes another week for high pressure to rebuild, keeping light winds over us until that happens.
