Puerto Vallarta starts Tuesday, June 9, warm, humid, and cloudy, with rain in the forecast and a wider Pacific storm pattern still affecting Mexico’s southern coast.
The day’s temperatures are expected to remain in a narrow, sticky range of roughly 25 to 29°C (77 to 85°F), with the warmest period around midday and early afternoon. Early conditions in the city were already humid, with light wind and cloud cover over the bay.
For residents, visitors, and people moving around town today, plan errands, beach time, and outdoor work around changing skies. Rain may not fall all day, but conditions can shift quickly in June.
Clouds, humidity, and rain risk
The local forecast calls for cloudy skies and rain, with the highest rain concern later in the day. Vallarta Daily’s own Puerto Vallarta weather page showed rain in the June 9 forecast, with high humidity already in place before sunrise.
That means the morning may still be workable for a walk on the Malecón, a supply run into Pitillal, or a beach stop before lunch. But it is not a day to leave windows open, laundry outside, or scooters parked without a rain cover.
Drivers should use extra care on Avenida Francisco Medina Ascencio, the Libramiento, and neighborhood streets that pond during stronger showers. Even brief rain can leave slick spots near construction zones, hillsides, and older drainage points.
Pacific storm activity stays on the radar
Puerto Vallarta is not under a tropical storm warning from Boris, but the storm is part of the weather story along Mexico’s Pacific coast. The National Hurricane Center said early Tuesday that Boris was producing “life-threatening flash flooding” in parts of southern Mexico, with the center near the Oaxaca and Guerrero coast.
The same advisory placed Boris about 190 kilometers, or 120 miles, east-southeast of Acapulco at midnight CST, with maximum sustained winds of 75 km/h, or 45 mph. The storm was forecast to weaken after moving inland.
Mexico’s Servicio Meteorológico Nacional has also warned that Pacific moisture, low-pressure channels, and storm remnants can keep heavy rain active across parts of western and southern Mexico. For Puerto Vallarta, the local concern is less about a direct storm hit and more about sudden downpours, runoff, and rougher ocean conditions when regional weather becomes unsettled.
Vallarta Daily has been tracking the broader pattern in its Pacific storm watch coverage as early-June activity has picked up in the Eastern Pacific.
What to do with today’s forecast
Beachgoers should watch lifeguard flags and avoid swimming near river mouths after rain, especially around the Cuale, Pitillal, and Ameca outflows. Runoff can carry debris into the bay, and currents can change after storms.
Tour operators, boat passengers, and anyone heading toward Boca de Tomatlán, Las Ánimas, or Yelapa should confirm conditions before leaving. If skies darken over the bay or the mountains, do not wait for heavy rain to start before heading back.
For most people in Puerto Vallarta, today is a normal rainy-season caution day, not an emergency. Carry an umbrella, keep phones dry, expect muggy air, and give yourself extra time if showers hit during the afternoon or evening commute.
The weather should be treated as useful planning information, especially for people new to town. June rain can be quick, loud, and messy. It also passes. The smartest move today is to enjoy the better breaks in the weather and keep an eye on the sky.
