Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, June 29, 2026 – Puerto Vallarta started Monday under mostly cloudy skies, with warm and humid conditions already in place before sunrise. The latest local station reading for Puerto Vallarta / Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, reported at 5:40 a.m. and viewed at 6:24 a.m. local time, showed 26°C (79°F), humidity at 74 percent, and a light northeast wind.
The forecast calls for a hot day, with the afternoon high near 33°C to 34°C (92°F to 94°F). The more important number for people walking or working outdoors, or waiting for buses, will be the heat index, which could make the afternoon feel closer to 39°C (103°F).
Current Conditions in Puerto Vallarta
As of the morning update, skies were mostly cloudy, visibility was about 19 kilometers (12 miles), and wind was light at roughly 8 km/h (5 mph) from the northeast.
The morning temperature was 26°C (79°F), with a reported “feels like” temperature of about 27°C (81°F). Conditions can change quickly during rainy season, especially once afternoon heating builds over the bay and nearby mountains.
Rain and Thunderstorm Timing
Passing showers are possible in the morning, with the highest chance of rain in the early part of the day. The latest hourly forecast shows a 41 percent chance of measurable rain in the morning, a lower chance in the afternoon, and another shower window into the evening.
An isolated thunderstorm cannot be ruled out later today. The Servicio Meteorológico Nacional has kept parts of Jalisco in a broader rain setup tied to tropical moisture and low-pressure features, so a quiet hour should not be read as an all-clear for the rest of the day.
For planning, the best outdoor window appears to be late morning into early afternoon, though heat will be more noticeable then. Carrying a small umbrella or rain shell still makes sense for errands, school pickups, restaurant plans, and evening walks.
Heat, Humidity, and Wind
The afternoon will feel hotter than the thermometer reading because of humidity. People spending time outside should plan for shade, water, and breaks, especially between late morning and midafternoon.
Winds are not expected to be strong in town today. The local forecast shows light wind through much of the day, shifting by period but generally staying low. That should limit wind-related issues, though storms can produce brief gusts near active rain cells.
Beach, Port, and Road Notes
No named tropical cyclone was active in the Eastern Pacific as of the National Hurricane Center’s early Monday outlook. Forecasters were monitoring a disturbance well southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, but it was not a direct Puerto Vallarta storm threat this morning.
Beach conditions should still be checked at the beach, not from a citywide forecast. Lifeguard flags can change during the day due to surf, currents, rain, lightning, or wildlife reports. Swimmers should follow posted beach flags and lifeguard instructions, especially at beaches with shifting currents.
For boat tours and small craft, operators should continue checking SEMAR’s port-status system and local captaincy updates before departure. The light wind forecast for the city does not replace official port guidance.
Road problems are not expected citywide from the morning forecast alone. If a heavier shower forms, the usual short-term risks are ponding in low-lying streets, reduced visibility, slick pavement, and brief delays near drainage points, river crossings, and construction zones.
Best Windows for the Day
Morning plans should be fine with a rain backup. Midday and early afternoon look better for errands that need dry weather, but they will also bring the day’s hottest feel.
Evening plans should allow for passing showers. Drivers should slow down during sudden rain, avoid standing water, and give extra room to buses, motorcycles, and pedestrians when pavement is wet.
This is a practical rainy-season forecast rather than an emergency weather day. Check updates before beach trips, boat tours, long drives, and outdoor evening events.
