Puerto Vallarta started Monday, June 15, with warm, partly cloudy to hazy conditions. As of 6:30 a.m. Central Time, temperatures were near 24°C to 26°C, or 76°F to 79°F, with high humidity making the morning feel warmer than the thermometer showed.
The day should turn hotter by late morning and early afternoon. The hourly forecast keeps temperatures rising into the low 30s Celsius, around 88°F to 91°F, while the apparent temperature may feel closer to 34°C or 35°C, about 93°F to 95°F, during the warmer part of the day.
Rain does not look like an all-day problem. Most hourly guidance keeps the morning and early afternoon mostly dry, with the better shower window in the late afternoon. A late-afternoon and evening shower chance appears in some models, while another daily forecast shows a higher rain probability but only light accumulation. The practical reading: plan errands, beach walks, and outdoor work earlier, but keep an umbrella or light rain jacket available after mid-afternoon.
The main item to watch today is the ocean. Mexico’s Navy marine forecast for the Pacific called for a new mar de fondo event beginning during the afternoon, with long-period swell, elevated surf, and return currents along much of Mexico’s Pacific coast, including Jalisco.
For Puerto Vallarta beaches, that means swimming conditions may change even if the sky looks calm. Beachgoers should check the flag at each beach, follow lifeguard instructions, and be cautious near river mouths, rocky entries, and areas where waves are breaking unevenly. Long-period swell can create stronger-than-expected sets and rip currents.
No tropical cyclone advisory was active for the Mexican Pacific in the official marine cyclone bulletin at the time of this morning’s check. No citywide weather-related road disruption was verified by 6:30 a.m., though brief ponding can develop in low spots if a late-day shower or storm forms.
For planning, the best window for outdoor activity is from morning through early afternoon, before the heat builds and the late-day shower risk. Conditions can change quickly in the rainy season, especially near the bay and mountain slopes, so check beach flags and updated forecasts before getting on the water or driving through flood-prone streets.
