Travel Vietnam with weather in 4 seasons

Like most regions, the weather varies from region to region, even during the season. Be sure to double check the weather in the areas you'll be visiting before you pack your bags and head out.

Vietnam has rainy season (May-October) and dry season (November-April). When making your travel plans, you can use this seasonal breakdown as an easy way to know which season is best for the things you want to do.

Winter
Winter in Vietnam is comprised of December, January, and February. Winter months bring beautiful weather with mild to warm temperatures and little rain. If you�ve been wanting a vacation on a world-famous beach, winter is the best of the weather seasons to take that trip. In southern Vietnam, winter weather means temperatures in the 70- to 80-degree F range.

In northern Vietnam, the weather is much different. Though drier than normal, the winter months still host a drizzle for much of the season. Temperatures are in the 50- to 60-degree F range as opposed to the south where things remain warmer. The sea can get a little bit choppy during the winter months, but with an experienced guide, you should have no problem exploring the way you want to. Central Vietnam is similar to northern Vietnam, though the central regions have a more mild version of the weather experienced to the north.

Spring
Spring in Vietnam is beautiful and can be quite hot and consists of the months of March, April, and May. May ushers in the rainy season, so if you are planning on traveling during this time, prep for high temperatures and lots of rain. When temperatures rise in the spring, so do sea temperatures and the water often becomes so warm that it does not make for a refreshing swim.

In the southern parts of Vietnam, temperatures fall in the 70s and 80s. Northern Vietnam weather in the spring is really rainy, but central Vietnam sees a little less of that rain. For people with health problems or limited mobility, May might be a difficult month to visit this stunning country due to high heat, humidity, and rain.

Summer
The lush greenery of Vietnam peaks in the summer and the weather in the three regions varies drastically. Summer months (June, July, August) continue to heat up. In the southern parts of Vietnam, the daytime boasts hot temperatures and lots and lots of rain. The showers can last up to a few hours each day but vary in frequency.

The middle region is milder and dryer, but come August, rains, and typhoons are king. If you are planning to travel to central Vietnam, August may not be the best month to go. The northern regions bring hot days, cooler nights, lots of rain, and relief in the form of an ocean breeze. Because the summer is hot and wet, bug repellant is essential.

Autumn
Things cool off and dry up slightly during Vietnam�s autumn season. The weather is still hot during September and October, but November brings great weather with a drop-off in precipitation. For individuals wanting to get out and explore, November is a great month to travel in the northern and central regions of the country.

As a warning, Autumn can be a dangerous time in central Vietnam due to harsh weather conditions like hurricanes. Always be extremely careful when planning a trip that includes central Vietnam in the fall.

Vietnam is a stunning country with a rich culture. You have so much to look forward to, so check the weather and start planning today. Need additional help?

Dear Ms Helen Pham
We had a wonderful amazing trip and will return as soon as we can afford it again. Thank you so much! I will write a great review on tripadvisor. Really the guides and hotels and tours were awesome. Ms. Nhung was very sweet and refreshingly honest, very likeable. Mr. Tam was fantastic, highly knowledgeable and funny. Probably our best "tour" was the day we spent on motor bikes visiting the tombs near Hue. The bikes allow for a much more intimate view of the countryside. And then - as I wrote - Mr. An was absolutely the best guide ever...Read more
