Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, July 2, 2026 – Puerto Vallarta begins Thursday with warm, humid rainy-season weather and a modest chance of scattered showers later in the day.
The early-morning reading was near 26°C / 78°F under mostly cloudy skies. A station report for Puerto Vallarta / Lic. listed 26°C / 79°F with passing clouds, updated at 1:42 a.m. Puerto Vallarta time. Conditions can shift through the day, especially in the late afternoon and evening.
Hotter by Midday
Temperatures are expected to climb quickly after midmorning, reaching about 34°C / 94°F around early afternoon before easing slightly toward evening. The heat will feel heavier than the thermometer suggests because of humidity, with hourly “feels like” values around 38°C to 40°C / 100°F to 104°F from late morning into midafternoon.
Outdoor errands, walks, beach time, and work crews will be more comfortable earlier in the morning or after the strongest midday heat. Shade, water, and breaks matter today, even without an extreme heat alert.
Shower Timing
Rain is not expected to dominate the day, but passing showers are possible. The hourly outlook shows the chance of showers increasing late morning through evening, with isolated thunderstorm wording appearing in the early afternoon on one forecast source. Another forecast places the better shower window closer to 5 p.m.
For planning, the safest read is a mostly usable day with a late-day risk of rain. Drivers should allow extra time if a short downpour develops, especially on low-lying or poorly drained streets.
Wind, Beaches, and Bay Conditions
Winds look light today, generally not strong enough on their own to suggest broad bay disruption. The hourly forecast keeps local winds mostly in the 1 to 6 mph range, or about 2 to 10 km/h.
Beachgoers should still check the flags posted by lifeguards before entering the water. The most recent beach-flag reporting found in this morning’s check was from June 30, when several Puerto Vallarta beaches had caution or restriction flags tied to surf conditions and marine-life concerns. That report should not be treated as today’s final status because flags can change by beach and by hour.
Pacific Storm Check
The National Hurricane Center’s 5 a.m. Pacific outlook listed Tropical Storm Douglas well west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, with no new tropical cyclone formation expected in the eastern and central North Pacific during the next seven days. The active system is not shown as a local weather threat in the Puerto Vallarta outlook.
Best Window for the Day
The most practical window for outdoor plans is from morning into early afternoon, before the better chance of showers and before evening humidity settles in. Keep a small rain backup for late afternoon or evening plans, and check conditions again before beach, boat, or road travel.
