Vietnam is located in both a tropical
and a temperate zone. It is characterized by a strong monsoon influence,
a considerable amount of sunny days, and a high rate of rainfall and
humidity. Some places located near the tropics or in mountainous regions
are endowed with a temperate climate.
North (from Hanoi to Sapa):
Summer in the north is from May to October where temperatures are in the
mid 30s with occasional heavy rains. In the winter, temperatures average
in the low teens from December to March. February and March can be damp
with drizzling rain and overcast sky.
Central (from Nha Trang to Hue):
Weather patterns in this region can vary due to the Truong Son mountain
range situated in the northwestern part of the country. Nha Trang has
periods of rain from November to December. While Dalat, located in the
interior, is cooler than the coastal regions from November to March.
Danang and Hue may experience some typhoon activity from mid October to
mid December when it is cooler, overcast and drizzly.
South (from Ho Chi Minh City to Phan Thiet):
The south is hot year round and has a wet and dry season. The wet season
is from May to October where there are daily downpours that are brief
and predictable. Considering that temperatures average in the low 30s
(Celsius), rain showers can be a blessing in disguise and provide relief
to the sweltering heat. The dry season from November to April is
generally sunny and humid and can be uncomfortable if no precautions are
taken for sun protection.
