Puna Weather
Wednesday 28th October 2026
Today very humid with light and variable winds. Scattered showers increasing through the day to become rain, heavy at times tonight through much of Thursday, possibly into Friday. VOG possible each day. Isolated thunder is also possible.
Saturday humid with light and variable winds and scattered showers. VOG possible.
Sunday through most of next week less humid with cool north or northeast winds and typical scattered windward showers, mostly during the night and early morning hours.
A mid/upper-level trough to our west is pumping tropical moisture our way from the southwest. This isn't a favorable direction for rain, but the abundant moisture and some cooler aloft should provide a good soaking for most areas.
Next week we're back to watching the tropics, specifically the area to our southeast where so many other storms have spawned this year. Both the GFS and the European models want to develop a tropical cyclone in an area of low wind shear and high sea surface temperatures. Both models move the potential storm in our general direction. If this ended up happening we'd be looking at it passing near or over our island in around 10 days.
