Puerto Vallarta starts Wednesday with clouds over the bay, but the day should not stay gray for long. Forecasts point to warm conditions, a high near 32°C, and only a limited chance of early showers before clearer skies return later in the day. Mexico’s national forecast also keeps Jalisco on the map for possible showers, though local rain expectations vary depending on the source. Here is what today’s forecast shows for May 27, 2026.
Puerto Vallarta Could See One Small Weather Twist
Puerto Vallarta weather today, May 27, 2026, is expected to remain warm, partly cloudy, and mostly dry, with a small early chance of showers.
The strongest factual angle is simple: this is a hot late-May day with a low risk of rain, not a storm day. The current forecast for Puerto Vallarta shows early cloudiness, with temperatures rising from about 24°C in the morning to around 33°C near midday.
Warm Day With a Modest Rain Chance
The Weather Channel forecast places Wednesday’s high near 90°F, or about 32°C, with a low near 74°F, or about 23°C. It also gives Puerto Vallarta a 30% chance of rain, mainly from early showers, before clearer afternoon skies settle in.
Winds are expected from the west at 10 to 15 mph (roughly 16 to 24 km/h). By evening, the same forecast shows partly cloudy skies and a much lower chance of rain, near 8%.
Jalisco Still Has Some Shower Potential
Mexico’s Servicio Meteorológico Nacional forecast keeps Jalisco under possible shower activity for Wednesday, along with Michoacán. The national outlook also notes that showers in the region could come with electrical activity.
That statewide forecast does not mean rain will fall in every neighborhood of Puerto Vallarta. Coastal weather can turn into a little theater: one colonia gets pavement steam, another gets blue sky, and everyone later argues about whether it “rained.”
For Puerto Vallarta, the safest reading is narrow and practical. Expect heat, clouds, sun breaks, and a modest chance of brief rain, especially earlier in the day.
Late May Sits Near the Seasonal Shift
Late May falls just ahead of the usual rainy season in Puerto Vallarta. Vallarta Daily’s Puerto Vallarta weather guide notes that the rainy season typically runs from June through October, often with short, stronger bursts later in the afternoon or evening.
The timing also comes shortly after the start of the eastern Pacific cyclone season. Vallarta Daily has reported that the 2026 Pacific cyclone season officially runs from May 15 through November 30, with storms capable of bringing rain, wind, surf, or flooding impacts along Mexico’s Pacific coast.
Today’s forecast, however, does not point to a named storm affecting Puerto Vallarta. It points to a warm May day with some cloud cover and a rain chance small enough to watch, not to overplay.
