Puerto Vallarta
Mexico
Hurricane Trudy is severely impacting Mexico's Pacific coastline, threatening Jalisco, Colima, Michoacan, and Guerrero (including the Guadalajara area) with life-threatening flash floods, destructive mudslides in steep terrain, and dangerous surf. Regional airports, including Guadalajara (GDL) and Puerto Vallarta (PVR), are seeing major delays and cancellations, and authorities have ordered mandatory evacuations for highly vulnerable coastal zones. Stay completely out of the ocean and away from coastal beaches, follow all evacuation directives from Mexican civil protection authorities immediately, never drive through flooded roads or steep terrain, and check your flight status directly with your airline.
Problem: Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) has extended its total shutdown and will not reopen today, Monday, October 12, keeping all commercial flights grounded until at least Tuesday.
Why it matters: Category 3 Hurricane Simon is stalled about 50 miles off Cabo Corrientes with 115 mph winds, moving northwest at just 2 to 5 mph, and relentless outer rainbands, dangerous crosswinds, and up to 30 inches of isolated rainfall threaten Jalisco with catastrophic flash flooding and mudslides.
Advice: Stay sheltered inside your hotel or resort and do not go to the airport today, stay off the streets since the Malecon is closed and public transit is suspended, and use active weather waivers from carriers like Delta, American, and United to rebook your departure for Wednesday or later through your mobile app.
