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), its sub-tropical climate is
often compared to Hawaii's. more

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 includes moderate temperatures.
While the rain can spoil a day at the beach, the storms
can be quite beautiful, with rain seeming to march across
the hills and lightning illuminating the sky. Runoff from
the rains can turn the seawater brown in some areas, detracting
somewhat from the beauty of the beaches and sea. Temperatures
reach 90 degrees F (32 C) 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 C), quite comfortable for a stroll
on the beach. Nighttime temperatures in Puerto and Nuevo
Vallarta range from the 60's to the mid 70's (19-24 C).
