Businesses in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, began reopening on Monday as rainfall decreased, according to local reports. The decision follows a gradual easing of conditions after Hurricane Simon moved along the Pacific coast. The storm, which had previously caused significant disruption, is now moving further away from the area.
Local authorities confirmed that the decision to allow businesses to reopen was based on updated weather assessments. Officials stated that while the storm remains active, its path no longer poses an immediate threat to the region. Some businesses had been closed for several days due to the risk of heavy rain and strong winds.
This is the second time this year that Puerto Vallarta has faced a major weather event. Earlier in the year, a similar storm caused widespread damage and forced evacuations. The current situation is considered less severe, with only minor disruptions reported. Local leaders emphasized the importance of continued monitoring and preparedness as the storm continues its journey.
