The climate of Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit is excellent, typically tropical dry and wet. The region is on the same latitude as Hawaii. The winter is the perfect time to visit as the tropical weather is dry and very comfortable. July to September experience variable humidity and high temperature, making those months less bearable. The average daily temperature high is 30 C (86 F) and average low is 21 C (70 F). The rainy season lasts between June and mid October with August being the wettest month.
