Puerto Vallarta wakes up Wednesday under a low gray lid, the kind of June sky that makes the bay look flatter and the mountains behind town disappear in layers. The air is warm rather than hot, with temperatures starting near 24°C to 25°C (75°F to 77°F) and not changing much throughout the day.
The forecast calls for the city to remain mostly cloudy from morning through midafternoon. Around noon, temperatures are expected to be near 26°C (78°F). That is comfortable on paper, but the humidity will likely make it feel heavier along the Malecón, in Centro, and in the blocks away from the water where the breeze does not move as freely.
The rain risk shows up later. Showers are forecast around 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., followed by thunderstorms around 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. That timing could affect evening plans, especially outdoor dinners, rooftop bars, beach walks, and traffic heading through the hotel zone, Centro, and the south side.

Today does not look like a strong heat day. It looks more like one of those early rainy-season days when the sky stays closed, the air feels damp, and the real change comes late in the day. Anyone with errands, beach time, or a dinner reservation may want to get moving earlier and leave some room for a wet evening.
If the storms develop as forecast, drivers should drive more slowly after sunset. Short bursts of rain can make cobblestone streets slick, especially in Centro and the Romantic Zone. Hillside streets above town can also get messy fast when runoff starts moving downhill.
After the evening storm window, the forecast returns to cloudy skies late tonight, with temperatures staying around 24°C to 75°F.
