High Season (November to May)

Puerto Vallarta's high season offers cooler, drier weather, making it a popular time to visit. Temperatures typically range from 20°C to 28°C, with minimal humidity and clear, sunny skies. This pleasant climate means the city feels active and welcoming upon arrival, with outdoor activities and beach life in full swing. The ocean is calm and warm, ideal for swimming and watersports.

The city's cultural calendar thrives during these months. Events like the Puerto Vallarta Art Walk and international film festivals draw crowds. The boardwalk, known as the Malecón, buzzes with people enjoying street performers and lively nightlife. Local restaurants and shops are fully operational, catering to a lively atmosphere where the pace is energetic but relaxed under the comfortable conditions.

Low Season (June to October)

The low season in Puerto Vallarta brings warmer temperatures and increased humidity, marking the arrival of the rainy season. Daily temperatures average from 27°C to 32°C, often accompanied by afternoon or evening downpours that refresh the air. While flights might arrive to more humid conditions, the rain typically clears quickly, revealing lively green landscapes. The ocean is warmer, inviting for a dip even with the higher humidity.

Life in Puerto Vallarta takes on a more relaxed, local rhythm during these months. With fewer tourists, you'll find the beaches and popular spots less crowded. While some smaller businesses may reduce hours, many remain open, offering a quieter, more authentic experience.
