Weather Underground lists an automated private weather station in HPP:

There's also one in Volcano CC, not quite Puna, but close:

Similar to the VCC station, I have a Davis Vantage Pro II here in California. They are about $500, if you know where to look.

I'd love to see more weather stations pop up on WeatherUnderground for Puna!

Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get.

I'd better correct my previous post -- we just got a copy of the weather station catalog from Davis Instruments, and the current version of what we had is called the Vantage Pro, and now sells for $995 for the base unit. We got a couple ov extras, so the total was probably on the order of $1200, not my extravagant claim of $3000.

I spent the last 5 days in Puna. I still am amazed every time I go home how much it truly rains in the Puna Area.

There was not one day that there wasn't a good down pour.

From our place, HPP-Makuu\6th, we get a good view of Pu'u O'o, and mauka. With the fumes around Kilauea the last several days, cloud formation happens as we watch.

Or as Jimmy Buffett said in one of his books:

"The weather is here, wish you were beautiful!"[]

Here in St. Louis it snowed today. Not just a dusting... blizzard like snow for 3-4 hours. Nothing really stuck, but it reminded us that winter is still around... so I guess count your blessings. You could be here freezing your buns off with me.

No, I could NOT be there freezing ... NEVER!
