Stay informed with Puerto Vallarta’s May 20, 2025 forecast: clear morning skies, highs of 34 °C, and comfortable evenings around 23 °C. Plus, a look at tomorrow’s weather.
Puerto Vallarta woke up under a canvas of clear, cloudless skies on Tuesday, May 20, 2025. As temperatures climb into the low-to-mid-30s Celsius, locals and visitors alike are advised to stay hydrated and seek shade during peak afternoon hours. Light west-northwest breezes will bring a gentle respite throughout the day, while tonight promises a comfortable 23 °C under mostly clear skies. Here’s what you need to know to plan your day—and a quick peek at what tomorrow holds.
Early Morning
At daybreak, Puerto Vallarta will greet early risers with perfectly clear skies. West-northwest winds of around 12 km/h will feel soft and pleasant, making it an ideal time for a sunrise stroll along the Malecón or a peaceful moment on the beach. Temperatures will start climbing quickly, reaching around 32 °C by mid-morning—a reminder that summer has firmly set in.
Afternoon Heat
By early afternoon, thermometers will register up to 34 °C. With no significant cloud cover to provide relief, you’ll want to plan activities accordingly: take breaks in shaded areas, enjoy a cool drink at a beachfront bar, or retreat indoors during the sunniest hours. Light breezes (up to 11 km/h) from the west-northwest will offer only modest relief, so pack sunscreen and a hat if you’re exploring the Zona Romántica or Isla Río Cuale.
Evening and Night
As the sun dips below the horizon, temperatures will moderate to a comfortable 23 °C. The sky will remain mostly clear, dotted by a few light clouds drifting overhead. Gentle west-northwest winds of about 4 km/h will make for an ideal evening—perfect for al fresco dining along the Marina Vallarta or a moonlit walk on Playa de los Muertos.
Today’s Tip
With clear skies dominating the day, don’t forget to protect your upper extremities. Lightweight long sleeves or a UV-protective cover-up can help shield your arms, while a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses will guard against the intense midday sun.
Looking Ahead: Wednesday, May 21
Tomorrow morning will already feel toasty, with temperatures jumping to around 35 °C. Expect dense cloud cover to roll in by late morning, potentially muting the sunshine but not the heat. West-northwest winds will remain gentle (up to 12 km/h), though you may notice the air feeling more humid under the thicker clouds. By early afternoon, the mercury will hover near 34 °C (94 °F), so continue the habit of staying hydrated and cooling off indoors when possible. Nightfall will bring relief, with clear, cloudless skies and a mild 24 °C—an excellent opportunity for stargazing or late-night beachside cocktails.
Whether you’re lounging poolside or sampling local ceviche, Puerto Vallarta’s weather this week is quintessentially tropical: warm, bright, and inviting. Plan accordingly, stay cool, and enjoy everything this vibrant destination has to offer.
