Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, June 28, 2026 – Puerto Vallarta started Sunday warm, humid, and cloudy, with the latest nearby station report at 5:44 a.m. showing 25°C / 77°F, 78% humidity, north winds near 11 km/h / 7 mph, and visibility around 13 km / 8 miles, according to a nearby weather station report.
By 6:24 a.m. Mexico City time, conditions remained in the same range: warm, humid, and calm enough for normal morning movement around town. Forecasts show the heat building quickly after midmorning, with today’s high expected around 34°C to 35°C / 93°F to 95°F.
Heat and Humidity Build by Midday
The main weather issue today is heat, not a morning storm. Hourly forecasts show temperatures near 31°C / 88°F by 10 a.m., rising toward 33°C / 92°F by midday and early afternoon.
Humidity will make it feel hotter than the thermometer. The hourly forecast puts the afternoon heat index near 39°C to 41°C / 103°F to 106°F at the hottest point of the day.
Outdoor errands, beach time, walking tours, and construction work will be more comfortable earlier in the day. Shade, water, and breaks matter after late morning.
Rain Risk Rises Late in the Day
Rain is not expected to dominate the full day, but late-day showers and isolated thunderstorms remain possible.
The better window for rain appears to be from about 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., with one hourly forecast showing the highest chance of rain around 6 p.m. The daily forecast lists a 40% probability of precipitation for Puerto Vallarta today, with less than 1 mm expected.
That does not rule out a brief local downpour. During the rainy season, one neighborhood can see a strong shower while another stays mostly dry.
Roads, Flooding, and Lightning
The citywide outlook is routine for late June, but the afternoon and evening storm window is worth watching for anyone driving through low-lying streets, river crossings, or areas that usually collect water after short heavy rain.
The national forecast places Jalisco within a broader area of possible strong rain today, though that is a statewide outlook and not a Puerto Vallarta-specific rainfall total. The national weather forecast also links stronger storms with possible lightning.
Drivers should use extra care if rain arrives near the evening return period. Avoid crossing flooded streets or arroyos, even if the water looks shallow.
Beach, Wind, and Bay Conditions
Winds are expected to stay light for much of the day. A marine forecast for the Puerto Vallarta area shows light winds and small long-period swell, with seas generally around 0.6 to 0.9 meters / 2 to 3 feet in open water during the day.
The broader Pacific forecast has included swell along the Jalisco coast, so beach conditions can still vary by location, especially near exposed beaches and river mouths. Check lifeguard flags before swimming, and use more caution if storms build offshore in the afternoon.
The federal port-status portal should be checked for current navigation restrictions before small-boat outings, tours, or private departures, since port conditions can change faster than a daily forecast.
Best Window for Plans Today
Morning through early afternoon is the best window for outdoor plans, errands, tours, beach time, and road movement.
The hottest period will run from late morning through midafternoon. The most likely weather interruption is a late-afternoon or evening shower or isolated thunderstorm.
Keep the day flexible after 5 p.m., especially for outdoor dinners, rooftop plans, beach walks, and drives through flood-prone streets. Conditions can change quickly during the rainy season, so check the latest local radar or official alerts before heading out.
