Puerto Vallarta began Tuesday, June 16, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures near 25–26°C, or 77–79°F, at about 6:25 a.m. local time.
The day should warm quickly. Afternoon highs are expected to be near 31–33°C (88–91°F). Humidity will make it feel warmer, especially inland and before any evening rain.
Rain chances increase late in the day, with showers most likely around 5 p.m., 6 p.m., and again near 8 p.m.
The Servicio Meteorológico Nacional places Jalisco under a broader Tuesday pattern of strong-to-very-strong rain potential, with electrical activity. In Puerto Vallarta, that means brief heavy rain, lightning, and ponding are possible if storms form over the bay or mountains.
Winds in town should stay light for much of the day. Beach and boat conditions need closer attention. The SEMAR marine forecast for the Pacific warned of long-period swell, elevated surf, and possible return currents along much of Mexico’s Pacific coast, including Jalisco.
Swimmers should follow posted beach flags and lifeguard instructions. Morning conditions can look calm before surf or currents become a problem.
Drivers should allow extra time if rain reaches town during the late-afternoon commute. Streets near river mouths, underpasses, and poor-drainage areas can change quickly during short downpours.
Plan outdoor errands, beach walks, and road trips for the first half of the day when possible. Carry water, use sun protection, and keep rain gear nearby for the evening. Conditions can change during the rainy season, so check updated alerts before beach, boat, or road plans.
