What will the weather be like in PV?

Of course I'm not a weatherman and cannot predict the weather but do make sure to look up averages for each time of year to get an idea of what to expect.

Peak season (November to April) is absolutely lovely and is when you can expect the best weather, that is why it is peak season.  Within peak season people tend to love the months of January, February, and March the best. During peak season you will get very little rain, if any, lots of sunshine, and not too much humidity. Perfection.

Non peak season (May to October) is considered the rainy season, not hurricane season as some of you may have heard. Because of Puerto Vallarta's location in the middle of Banderas Bay, surrounded by mountains on all sides, PV is quite sheltered. That doesn't mean we are magically free of hurricanes, sometimes they do pass through the area, but we have been quite lucky. If you compare PV to say Cancun, the average number of direct hits on Cancun is one every 7 years, PV is more like one every 35 or so years! The most damaging hurricane was back in October 2002 which had very strong rain and heavy winds, we lost some amazing statues along the Malecon and much of the Malecon itself and some local restaurants and hotels were badly damaged but thankfully no deaths were reported.

In non peak season it doesn't rain all day every single day! You still get lots of sunny days and many people do come down and of course still have a great time. What you should expect are the occasional tropical rain storms that only last an hour to three hours, and typically this is in the evenings. You may even get some pretty awesome lightning shows looking out over the water! That being said, some of our busiest months are the ones that border peak season (May, June and October) and they are a pretty decent time to come on down, get great weather, but enjoy reduced prices.
