Puerto Vallarta Weather in November

November weather

November feels warm and mostly settled in Puerto Vallarta. Days reach 30°C, with about six hours of sunshine, while evenings cool to around 20°C. Rain is limited compared with October, though the air can still feel humid.

You can stroll the Malecón, take a boat to Los Arcos, or spend time on Playa Los Muertos without planning around frequent showers. Mountain paths may still be muddy after October's heavy rain, so don't expect every trail to be dry.

Festivals and local life

Day of the Dead celebrations on November 1 and 2 bring decorated altars and cemetery visits. Around the Malecón and downtown, you may spot offerings and public displays. The International Gourmet Festival also usually takes place in November, with events at local restaurants.

Families who enjoy cultural traditions may find the Day of the Dead displays a memorable part of a visit.

Crowds and practical tips

November marks the start of Puerto Vallarta's busier season. It's livelier and often pricier than the rainy summer and October, but usually less crowded than December through February. If you want a quieter beach, visit Playa Conchas Chinas rather than staying around Los Muertos.

For Day of the Dead, head to the cemetery in the 5 de Diciembre neighbourhood to see local observances. Be respectful around families visiting graves, and follow any signs about where visitors can go.
