Puerto Vallarta is in for a soggy start to the week as rain dominates the forecast for Monday, June 30, 2025. Local weather experts warn of persistent light to moderate showers throughout the day, creating slippery roads and increased risk for accidents.
Morning Outlook:
Expect a damp commute, with a 96% chance of rain during the morning hours. Rainfall is likely to be light to moderate, but road surfaces will be slick. Temperatures will hover around 30°C (86°F), and winds from the west will remain calm at just 5 km/h, offering little relief from the muggy conditions.
Afternoon Conditions:
Temperatures are expected to stay steady, maxing out again at 30°C. There is an 83% chance of continued rain, so indoor activities and air-conditioned spaces are recommended to stay cool and dry. Westerly winds may increase slightly to 7 km/h, but they won’t have a significant cooling effect.
Evening Forecast:
By nightfall, rain probability spikes to 100%. With temperatures dropping only slightly to 26°C (79°F), the air will remain hot and sticky. Authorities recommend caution while driving and encourage locals to seek refuge in cool, dry environments.
Tuesday Preview:
Puerto Vallarta’s weather won’t improve much tomorrow. Although the risk of rain dips slightly in the morning to 38%, it jumps back up to 100% by early afternoon. Highs will reach 31°C (88°F), and humidity will persist. Night temperatures will settle at 25°C (77°F) with a 61% chance of rain and calm, westerly breezes up to 6 km/h.
Mental Health Reminder:
Take care of your mental well-being during extended rainy periods. Simple practices like meditation, journaling, or reaching out to a friend can make a big difference.
