If you go to the Halema'uma'u webcam, you can get a very accurate idea of the Vog forecast. You want the plume to be slightly bent over and facing away from the camera, not going straight up as it is at the moment, or --God Forbid-- a big, unformed mess going all over the place as it was last evening (when this happens, you can no longer see the caldera very well because it is just filled with smoke, or whatever that stuff is).
The answer my friend, is blowing in the tradewinds. Without them, you will know you are living on the slopes of the world's most active volcano.
