As Puerto Vallarta residents wake up today, they can expect mostly cloudy skies and intermittent rainfall throughout the day. While the temperatures will remain warm, ranging from 27°C to 30°C, the weather could impact outdoor plans for the day and the next few days. Below is the detailed weather forecast for today, tomorrow, and the upcoming weekend.
Wednesday, October 23, 2024:
Morning:
Puerto Vallarta will start the day with overcast skies. Light winds from the west-northwest at 8 km/h will bring a calm, humid atmosphere with temperatures already hitting 30°C by morning. Despite the cloud cover, which will limit sunlight, the day begins hot, making it a good idea to seek shade or stay in air-conditioned environments early on. Natural light can be limited by the thick clouds, so using bright indoor lighting may help elevate your mood during the morning hours.
Afternoon:
As the day progresses, expect a 73% chance of light to moderate rainfall. Winds will stay light, with speeds up to 10 km/h from the west-northwest, and the temperature will remain steady at 30°C. The rainfall will provide some relief from the heat, but the humidity will still make the atmosphere feel quite stifling. Be prepared for brief showers, but don’t expect heavy downpours or strong winds. However, it’s wise to take precautions if you plan to drive, as wet roads can become slippery.
Night:
The evening will continue to bring cooler temperatures, around 27°C, with a 23% chance of light to moderate rain. Although the rains are expected to lessen during the night, caution is still advised on the roads. The humid atmosphere will persist, and the night air will feel warm. It’s an excellent time to cool off with ice cream or enjoy a cold beverage while sheltering indoors or in a comfortable, air-conditioned space.
Tomorrow’s Forecast: Thursday, October 24, 2024:
Morning:
Starting early Thursday morning, the sky will be clear, presenting ideal conditions for those who enjoy stargazing or simply soaking in the tranquility of the early hours. The day will begin with mild temperatures of 25°C, warming up to 32°C by mid-morning. Winds will remain light, again coming from the west-northwest at around 8-10 km/h, providing little relief from the increasing heat. As the sun rises, the cloudless skies will make it essential to stay hydrated and wear protective gear, such as hats and sunscreen, for those venturing outdoors.
Afternoon and Evening:
By the late afternoon, temperatures will again climb to 32°C, though the likelihood of rain increases to 54% during the night. If you plan on being out during the evening hours, keep an umbrella handy and stay updated on potential weather changes. The heat and humidity will continue to be a factor, with temperatures only dropping slightly to 26°C during the night.

A 60% chance of light rain is forecasted for Friday, with temperatures fluctuating between 24°C and 32°C. Light winds of 11 km/h from the west are expected, providing some relief from the day’s warmth. Be prepared for occasional rain throughout the day, but it should not significantly disrupt plans.
Saturday, October 26:
A higher chance of rain (95%) is expected, so residents should prepare for a wetter day. Winds will remain light at 10 km/h, and temperatures will stay in the 32°C range.

Daily temperatures will consistently range between 23°C and 32°C, maintaining the area’s tropical warmth. Those planning outdoor activities should remain mindful of the forecasted rains, especially on Saturday, which has the highest chance of precipitation.
