The climate of Puerto Vallarta (Mexico)
Puerto Vallarta is a popular seaside resort on the west coast of Mexico situated on the Bay of Banderas. Puerto Vallarta is the second largest seaside resort in Mexico, mainly because many cruise ships make a stop-over here. Many hotels have also been built in the neighboring town of Neuvo Vallarta. This town is not a part of the municipality of Puerto Vallarta and is even situated in a different province. However, many travel agencies do classify Nuevo Vallarta (New Vallarta) as being in the same province as Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. Puerto Vallarta has a subtropical climate with hot and wet summers and warm and dry winters. During the summer most storms remain stationary in the higher areas surrounding Puerto Vallarta. The storms can easily be seen from the city and offer spectacular sights. The rainy season is from June till the second part of October. During the period chances of rain and thunderstorms during the afternoon increase. However, clouds dissolve rapidly, the combination of sunshine and the moist air cause high humidity figures.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
