Northern Vietnam climate:
– The Winter (December to March) can be surprisingly bitter for cold air sweeps from the south of China, persistent mist and temperatures as low as 7°C. Things start warming up again in April, which ushers in a good period, spring weather before summer heat begins in earnest in May, closely followed by the rainy season in June, July and August. This combination makes for hot, sticky weather which makes many people surprised. The temperatures can occasionally reach 42°C, average 30°C, while humidity hovers about 75-80%. The rain comes in heavy downpours, causing frequent flood in Hanoi and the delta. By September, the rains are petering out. The Autumn (September to December) is undoubtedly the most pleasant season. At this time of year, it’s generally cool, the average temperature is about 20°C to 22°C. From September to middle October, it’s perfect sightseeing weather.
Central coast Vietnam climate:
– The coastal region from Thanh Hoa province to Hue lies in the typhoon belt. Around Hue, typhoons are the most prevalent from April to June, while further north, the season generally lasts from July to November. However, typhoons are quite difficult to predict and it really is a matter of bad luck or luck, if you are caught. Flights are usually only disrupted for a matter of hours, but for recent years the main road and rail routes heading the south have been cut by floods at least once during the typhoon season. The good news is that they are recovered incredibly quickly within 2 to 3 days, depending on the level of severe damage.
The climate in the central region of Vietnam is notoriously wet, particularly around Hue, where the annual average rainfall is a generous 4m. The so-called ‘dry’ season lasts from February to May. After this, it gets hotter around 30°C to 32°C until the rainy season start in earnest in September, gradually easing off from November through January. The average temperatures in the Winter are pleasant from 18°C to 22°C.

Southern Vietnam climate:
The southern Vietnam follows roughly the same weather pattern as the central highlands. It is blessed with a fair and predictable climate. The dry season lasts from December to May. The rainy season is the rest of a year. Most of the rains fall in brief afternoon downpours, so you can still enjoy outdoor activities, although flooding can be a problem in the southern delta. Daytime temperatures rarely fall below 22°C, occasionally reach 35°C in the hottest months (April to May). Humidity climbs to enervating 75%.
