Puna Weather
Wednesday 16th July 2025
Mostly dry today with a an increase in humidity and a few showers Thursday and Friday, mostly during the night and early morning hours. Back to mostly dry with lower humidity this weekend into early next week. Light to moderate easterly trade winds through the period.
Subsidence aloft has dry and stable conditions over us today (this morning's skew-t from Hilo). A weakness in the ridge aloft moves overhead Thursday and Friday accompanied by a slight bump in moisture riding in on our trade winds (moisture anomaly animation). This will lift our inversion a couple of thousand feet for the risk of some showers both days. The light winds will limit total rainfall.
This weekend into early next week ridging builds in aloft (mid-level anomaly animation) for dry and stable conditions.
