Weather conditions at the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii are analyzed based on local meteorological measurements and routine radiosonde records. Statistics are established for weather conditions prevailing during observations. Correlation between local and radiosonde data is good, indicating that the site is essentially in the free atmosphere. Seeing data recorded in the observatory logbooks is then analyzed and compared to modeled seeing derived from free-atmosphere bulk meteorological data. The correlation here is very poor. Nor does there seem to be any strong relationship between observed seeing and local weather conditions. Finally, even seeing at the various telescope facilities does not correlate well. All of this strongly suggests that most of the observed seeing is created within the domes or their immediate surroundings.
