Puerto Vallarta Weather Forecast
In the early hours, thermometers climbed to 31 °C under a light west‑northwest breeze of 7 km/h. Showers moved in with 100 % certainty, so locals should stay close to shelter or air‑conditioned spots until the rain eases.
By midday, the mercury peaks at 33 °C. Clear, cloudless skies will follow the morning showers, offering a brief window for outdoor activity—though the intense heat means limiting sun exposure. A gentle breeze at 10 km/h won’t cool much, so sun protection and hydration remain priorities.
After dark, conditions remain warm at 26 °C under a bright full moon and cloudless skies. It’s a good night to rest in well‑ventilated rooms or near fans.
Tip: A little activity goes a long way. Take walks in cooler hours, stay hydrated, and you’ll keep chronic fatigue and stiffness at bay.
Tomorrow’s Preview: Tuesday dawns with calm west‑northwest winds around 8 km/h and a clear sky—all of which will drive temperatures up to 33 °C. Keep water handy and avoid direct sun during the afternoon peak. By early afternoon, a 63 % chance of light to moderate rain arrives, with temps dipping from 33 °C down to 29 °C. Expect winds up to 11 km/h. Rain chances spike to 96 % around dinnertime; drive cautiously on slick roads and seek indoor plans once clouds gather.
Across Mexico, the National Meteorological Service warns that the Mexican monsoon and nearby cyclonic circulation will unleash heavy to very heavy rains in much of the northwest and central highlands. Low‑pressure channels and a passing tropical wave will fuel storms from Sonora to Michoacán, with potential thunderstorms and hail.
