Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, June 23, 2026 – Puerto Vallarta started Tuesday partly cloudy and warm, with 24°C (76°F) reported at 6:23 a.m. local time. The day is expected to heat up quickly, with a high near 34°C (93°F) and a low near 24°C (76°F).
A shower is possible this afternoon. The local forecast shows the best chance of rain around 2 p.m., at about 50 percent, with clouds increasing after some early sun. Forecast models differ on exact timing, so outdoor plans should allow for a short delay if a shower or thunderstorm forms over the bay.
Morning Conditions
At daybreak, conditions were partly cloudy, with light wind and no confirmed citywide weather-related road closure in the public sources checked by 6:23 a.m.
Humidity will be noticeable by late morning. The afternoon heat may feel closer to 36°C (97°F), especially away from shade and sea breeze.
Rain and Storm Timing
The most likely window for rain is early to mid-afternoon, though showers can develop later over the mountains and drift toward town. The Servicio Meteorológico Nacional had Jalisco in a broader rainy pattern, with possible electrical activity and gusty winds in parts of the state.
For Puerto Vallarta, this does not point to an all-day washout. It does mean drivers should watch for brief ponding on low streets if a stronger shower reaches town, especially around underpasses, poorly drained intersections, and routes near streams.
Beach, Bay and Port Conditions
SEMAR’s Pacific marine forecast, valid through 8 a.m. Wednesday, warned of local storms along the Mexican Pacific that can bring showers, stronger gusts, elevated surf, lightning, and reduced visibility. It also listed a mar de fondo event with waves of about 1.8 to 2.4 meters (6 to 8 feet), long-period swell, and rip currents along a stretch of coast that includes Jalisco.
Beachgoers should check flags at the access point before swimming. Small-boat tours, fishing trips, paddleboarding, and water taxis should confirm conditions with operators, especially if the bay turns choppy or storms build in the afternoon. The public SEMAR port status page remains the place to verify navigation restrictions if conditions change.
Practical Window for Tuesday Plans
The easier window for errands, airport runs, beach walks, and outdoor work is this morning into midday. Carry water, use shade, and keep some indoor flexibility after lunch.
Drivers should slow down during any rain burst. Short, hard showers can make cobblestone streets slick and reduce visibility on the Libramiento, Francisco Medina Ascencio, and hillside roads.
Conditions can change quickly in late June. Check the latest hourly forecast before afternoon tours, beach time, or travel across the bay.
