Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, June 26, 2026 – Puerto Vallarta started Friday warm and mostly clear, with 25°C (77°F) reported at 6:11 a.m. local time. The heat index was already higher, with a RealFeel near 31°C (87°F). Winds were light from the southeast at about 8 km/h (5 mph), with gusts near 13 km/h (8 mph).
The main weather story for the city today is heat, strong sun, and a mostly dry daytime forecast. The expected high is 35°C (95°F), with the low tonight near 26°C (78°F).
Conditions can change during the rainy season, especially near the mountains and river channels, so residents and visitors should check for later updates before longer drives, boat plans, or evening outdoor events.
The local hourly forecast shows little risk of rain through most of the day, with chances near 0% early and remaining below 10% through the afternoon. The full-day forecast gives Puerto Vallarta about a 25% chance of rain.
Mexico’s national weather service continues to flag Jalisco for regional rain risk, including possible strong storms and lightning in parts of the state. That does not mean all of Puerto Vallarta will see rain today, but it is reason enough to keep an umbrella or a light rain layer handy for late-afternoon and evening plans.
The hottest stretch should run from late morning through mid-afternoon, when temperatures are forecast around 33°C to 35°C (92°F to 95°F). Hydration and shade breaks will matter for beach walks, errands, construction work, tours, and anyone waiting outdoors for buses or taxis.
Wind is not expected to be a major issue this morning, with light southeast flow reported early. Surf data for the Puerto Vallarta rivermouth shows warm ocean water near 30.3°C (86.5°F) and small swell energy, with better surf not expected until early next week.
Beach conditions still depend on the flag posted at each beach and the judgment of lifeguards. Swimmers should follow posted flags, avoid river mouths after rain, and be cautious if clouds build quickly over the bay.
The National Hurricane Center reported no active tropical cyclones in the Eastern Pacific as of early Friday morning. A disturbance farther out in the basin should be monitored, but there is no current tropical cyclone affecting Puerto Vallarta.
No major citywide weather disruption is indicated by the morning forecast. The practical plan is to use the morning for errands, walking, markets, and beach time before the strongest heat arrives.
Afternoon and evening plans should allow for a possible quick shift if storms build inland or move toward the bay. Brief heavy rain can still create ponding on low-lying streets and slow traffic, even on a day with a modest chance of rain.
