Weather in PV

Ok, I am going to PV tomorrow! I am very excited until I heard about Hurricane John heading that way. Should I still go? Does it rain a lot during rainy season? I am all sorts of confused, so please can anyone help me out with what it will be like for the next week?

Thanks

I too am in the same boat...We leave on Saturday the 2nd for a short trip (5 days) and I fear we will be holed up in our room the entire time. Grant it, I would rather be holed up in my room in PV rather than at home but I fear my tan will be greatly effected!! I suppose that as long as we have power (so the blender work!) all will not be lost. If the power goes, though, watch out...this will be one ticked off gringo!! :evil:

:) Pack candles..water and toilet tissue :)
I know the gym in Pitillal is used as a shelter ....The churches are too.
Where are other shelters in Puerto Vallarta and where would the best place be to hang out if..the storm should hit.

i think Sylvia is just pointing out the worse case scenario if the weather was to shift. But if you look at the two threads that lead to the NWS predictions, you will see that John is to be on top of Cabo by friday and heading back out to sea on saturday.... just google the \"national weather service\" and you will find the national hurricane center as well that same way, and you can get alll the latest up to date information .... you will be fine....

I was smiling at the above words and suggesting to AZ to pack candles in case the power goes out.

You know... I like everyone else hopes Hurricane John will head back to Sea or do what ever hurricanes do when they peter out. :) But...
if heavy winds rain and BIG waves should come to PV I would want to be prepared.
I too would not want to spend time holed up in a Gym or anywhere waiting out a storm but if it comes to that then yes I was serious about packing bottled water toilet tissue snacks :) meds if one needs them and of course important papers in a back pack just in case.
Easy to unpack your emergency bag if not needed.. :)

I am curious as to what local folks are hearing about this storm and what precausions are being taken..
Thanks :)

Yes Tom thanks ..I was just pointing out worst case scenario... :)
and Shecky I agree the weather was absolutely beautiful even a few hours after Kenna.
I remember sitting outside on a step at the church in Pitillal and the sun was shining and it was Hot and calm.

Thanks for the reassuring. I really want to go since I have never been to Mexico before and I have heard such great things. Its just that I do not want to stay in the hotel for 5 days waiting for the rain and wind to stop. Thanks again!

OK, not be to crazy or anything but I just read this on CNN:

In Puerto Vallarta, skies were clear and tourists relaxed on the beach Wednesday morning as local officials met to prepare for the coming storm.

Anyone in PV that knows more, please respond!

Thanks JB, I am sure you are right. I will go and enjoy! I just needed someone to kind of slap me in the face and not be so scared!

We live in Vallarta, 75 yards from Los Muertos Beach, and I can report that today was a beautiful hot and sunny day with a spectacular sunset - the clouds began to gather in the late afternoon, but they usually do this time of year. Tonight is calm and quiet, very pleasant. John is scheduled to pass by PV about 1 pm tomorrow, with the center being perhaps within 50-60 miles of us. Most people I have talked with expect heavy rain and maybe some wind, although PV is well-protected by the bay and mountains. The usual Wednesday cruise ship did not come in today, however, and I am hearing rumors about the airport being closed. If you have a flight tomorrow, be sure to check on cancellations and/or postponements. We will let you know more tomorrow. Karen

Yes it seems that the hurricane is gaining momentum. My flight is early in the am tomorrow and now I am concerned that I will get into Mexico City and not be able to get into PV. Please keep updating if anyone knows more info.
Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what the weather is like in PV right now? :?

At 9:20 this morning, everything is eerily quiet here. Skies are gray, but there is no wind yet. Most of the businesses downtown are taped up, and many have emptied their inventories. The schools are closed and I have been told that all flights are cancelled for today. Sorry, folks!!

Thanks Karen.. :)
You said you lived 75 yards or so from the beach so you are seeing first hand what it is like.
Hope the storm passes by and that it is a wuss.

Karen, So glad to hear you are fine & PV is still intact.

So concidering that up to now, everything seems to be okay...what are the chances of it still passing through PV? :?:
