Puerto Vallarta Weather

Puerto Vallarta sits on the Costa Dorada of Mexico, at the mid-point of Banderas Bay, where the Pacific Ocean washes the border between Jalisco and Nayarit.

Located on the same latitude as the Hawaiian Islands (20 degrees north), Puerto Vallarta's weather and sub-tropical climate are often compared to Hawaii's conditions (Puerto Vallarta information).

Please take a look at our Puerto Vallarta Web cam and see how the Puerto Vallarta Weather is right NOW.

Puerto Vallarta (as is Nuevo Vallarta) is surrounded by jungle, and receives considerable rain. The rainy season is June to September, rainiest in September. December and January, the peak tourist season, are hot and sunny. Weather in Spring and Autumn offers moderate temperatures. While the rain can spoil a day at the beach, the tropical storms can be quite beautiful, when rain seems to march across the hills and lightning illuminates the sky.

Runoff from the rains in the jungle and hills can turn the seawater brown in some areas, detracting somewhat from the beauty of the beaches and sea. Temperatures reach 90ºF (32ºC) during the summer, and the humidity can add to the perception of heat.

During the winter, weather changes significantly and temperatures are in the low to mid 80's F (28-30 ºC), quite comfortable for a stroll on the beach. Nighttime temperatures in Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta range from the 60's to the mid 70's (19-24ºC).
