Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico's Topography
Puerto Vallarta resides on the northwest Pacific Coast of Mexico, within one of the largest bays in the world, the Bahía de Banderas (Bay of Flags). Shaped like a horseshoe and with over 40 miles of coast, the open end of the bay faces west, providing a natural barrier against hurricanes. The inland to the east is mountainous with lush vegetation.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico's weather year around
If sun is what you want, then you've come to the right place because Puerto Vallarta has about 300 days sunshine each year. The summer rainy season usually sees brief afternoon showers that cool temperatures from the high 80°Fs to the low 80°Fs. The winter months bring temperatures ranging from an average of 65° to 80°. The heart of hurricane season lasts from early September to late October, though strikes are rare and there is plenty of advance notice to prepare. When threatened by a hurricane strike, one should expect a 2-day displacement from evacuation to safe return.
