What's the Weather Like in Puerto Vallarta in April

The weather warms up even more in April in Puerto VallartaMexico, as the city quickly heads towards summer (June - October). Its positioning so close to the equator means it sees warm weather year round, and in April this is no different. The temperatures are high, the days are long and sun-filled, plus there's plenty of cultural activities and beaches to explore the perfect place for an early summer break.

Temperature

The average daily temperatures in April bask at a very warm 24°C, which often rise to 32°C and above extremely hot for this time of year. There is quite a significant drop between the daytime and night time temperatures, though, proving that Puerto Vallarta still isn't in the grips of summer just yet. At around an average of 16°C, the nights are much cooler, so it's a good idea to pack layers if you're visiting at this time of year. Swimwear, shorts, and t-shirts are essential for during the day, but you might need an extra layer or two for when the sun goes down. Be sure to pack oodles of suncream, too, as the sun is fierce at this time of year.

Rainfall

Rainfall is minimal in April, with only around 5mm falling throughout the month. It's highly unlikely you'll get caught in any rain, so it's probably not worth packing an umbrella.

Sunshine hours

Long days accompany the minimal rainfall at this time of year, when there is around 12 hours of sunshine per day. The sprawling, sun-filled days provide plenty of time for exploring all the cultural attractions on offer, as well as leaving plenty of time to lay back and relax on the many beaches.

Sea Temperature

Relaxing on the beaches is a favourite pastime for tourists visiting Puerto Vallarta at this time of year, and it's no wonder, with sea temperatures sitting at a very warm 25°C. This provides ideal conditions for casual swimmers, watersports enthusiasts, and those looking to discover the colourful underwater world that characterises this part of the world.

Puerto Vallarta in April is beautifully hot, with long, draw-out sunny days perfect for catching some early summer sun on the beach and exploring the numerous sites and activities that the city has to offer.
