Puerto Vallarta Weather Forecast for September 13, 2024: Prepare for Rain and Scattered Clouds

Puerto Vallarta residents and visitors should be prepared for a mostly rainy day with scattered clouds on Friday, September 13, 2024. As the weather forecast indicates, rain will be prevalent throughout the day, offering cooler temperatures but also creating potentially hazardous driving conditions.

Morning Conditions

The day will start off warm, with early morning temperatures reaching 31°C. While the heat may not be at its peak yet, it is still essential to stay hydrated and protected from the sun. The sky will present scattered clouds, providing partial shade in some areas. Winds from the northwest will remain light, blowing at a gentle speed of 9 km/h, which means there won’t be much relief from the warm temperatures. It’s a good idea to enjoy the morning outdoors before the rain sets in, but keep water and sun protection handy.

Afternoon Forecast

As the afternoon rolls in, residents can expect a 100% chance of light to moderate rain. While the temperature will drop slightly to 33°C, the heat will remain intense. Those who plan to be outside are advised to seek shelter in air-conditioned areas or cool spaces. Drivers should take extra caution during this period. The combination of rain and heat creates slippery road conditions, so maintaining a safe distance between vehicles and reducing speed is essential to prevent accidents. Winds from the northwest will continue at 11 km/h, providing little relief from the heat but enough to move the air slightly.

Evening and Night Weather

The rain will persist into the evening and night, with a 100% chance of continuing light to moderate showers. Temperatures will drop to 26°C, but the environment will still feel stifling. It’s advisable to seek air-conditioned spaces to stay comfortable. Winds will slow to a barely noticeable 5 km/h, providing calm but muggy conditions. Those out in the rain should remain cautious, as wet roads may pose risks to drivers.

Tomorrow’s Outlook

Looking ahead to tomorrow, Saturday, September 14, 2024, the weather will be slightly more forgiving. The day will start with a thick layer of clouds in the sky, contributing to a dim and somewhat gloomy atmosphere. The temperature is expected to rise to 33°C by daybreak, and winds from the west-northwest will remain light at 8 km/h. A 43% chance of light to moderate rain is forecasted for the afternoon, and the evening will see slightly cooler temperatures of 26°C with a 20% chance of rain. It’s another hot and muggy day ahead, so staying indoors or in cool spaces is recommended, particularly during the warmest parts of the day.

Long-Term Weather Forecast

Puerto Vallarta will continue to experience cloudy skies and rain over the next few days. Here’s a look at the forecast:

  • Sunday, September 15: Expect a minimum temperature of 25°C and a maximum of 33°C. The sky will be densely cloudy, and west-northwest winds will reach up to 10 km/h.
  • Monday, September 16: The sky will remain heavily clouded, with temperatures rising from 25°C to 32°C. Light winds will blow at 10 km/h.

Advice for Residents and Visitors

As Puerto Vallarta continues to experience high heat combined with rain, it is essential to take precautions to avoid heat-related illnesses and stay safe on the roads. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

  1. Stay Hydrated: The combination of heat and humidity can be draining. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially if you’re outdoors.
  2. Use Sun Protection: While there may be clouds, UV rays can still penetrate through. Apply sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors.
  3. Drive Carefully: Rainy conditions can create slippery roads, and it is essential to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. Reduce your speed to avoid hydroplaning and accidents.
  4. Seek Shelter: With temperatures reaching scorching levels, finding cool, air-conditioned places to rest is advisable during the hottest parts of the day.
  5. Plan for Rain: Keep an umbrella or raincoat handy, as rain is likely to continue through the evening and into the night.

Sunrise and Sunset

For those looking to make the most of the daylight hours, Puerto Vallarta will experience 12 hours and 17 minutes of sunlight today. The sun will rise at 6:47 AM and set at 7:05 PM.

Whether you’re a resident or a visitor, staying informed and prepared for the day’s weather will help you navigate the heat and rain with ease. Keep cool, stay safe, and enjoy what Puerto Vallarta has to offer despite the stormy skies.
