1. Ever wonder when is the best time to visit
Vietnam? This guide will tell you the answer.

2. Tropical monsoon climate
Vietnam has a tropical monsoon climate. Broadly speaking, the weather in Vietnam
is dictated by two seasons.

3. Temperatures

 Temperatures
are fairly
constant
throughout,
with the
exception of
Hanoi and the
far north
(which can be
very cold in
December and
January)

4. Temperatures

 …and the Central
Highlands (which can
be slightly cooler than
the rest of the country
year-round).

5. Northern Vietnam

Northern Vietnam has a
cool to cold season (courtesy
of the northeast monsoon
from November to March)
and a warm to hot wet
season (from April to
October)…

6. Northern Vietnam

 December
and January
in particular
can get quite
frosty in the
far north of
Vietnam --
pack
accordingly.

7. Nothern Vietnam

 This time of the year can also see heavy mists that
can run for days -- these can reduce visibility in
places like Sapa and Ha Long Bay to frustratingly
short distances.

8. Northern Vietnam

Halong bay

9. Central Vietnam

 Central
Vietnam is
kind of a
transitionar
y area
climate-wise
from the
north to the
south.

10. Central Vietnam

 As the coast line is shielded by the Truong Son
mountain range the rains that come with the
southwest monsoon don't make it to the coast, so
between April and September, while the coastal area
does see some rain, it does see less than other parts
of the country.


Truong Son mountain

12. Central Vietnam

 This advantage is reversed though come the
northeast monsoon when, between September and
December, the northern section of Central Vietnam
(Hoi An and Da Nang through to Hue and Dong Ha)
receive considerable rain.

13. Central Vietnam

Hoian

14. Central Vietnam

 The southern
coastal strip
from around
Nha Trang to
Mui Ne is
less affected
by the rain
and sees a
longer dry
and sunny
season.

15. Southern Vietnam

 Without the protection of the Truong Son mountain
range, southern Vietnam, especially the Mekong
Delta, gets plenty of rain and hot, humid weather
during the southwest monsoon from April to
September, with June and July being especially wet.

16. Southern Vietnam

Mekong Delta

17. When is the best time to visit Vietnam?

December, as you'll see little rain and should have
clear skies and temperate conditions.
