Climate of Vietnam
The country can be divided into – South, North, Central Coast and Central Coast Vietnam. Each has its own climate characteristics.
Northern part
In the North there are subtropics, which promises high levels of humidity and significant precipitation in the summer and relatively cool weather due to the wind in the winter. The first two months of the year in the northern provinces there is usually light rain, but from mid-summer to the end of September there are real tropical downpours - strong and prolonged.
Note! During the period from mid-summer to early September, 4/5 of the annual precipitation falls.
If you are not prepared for cool weather during your winter holiday, then it is better to avoid visiting the northern provinces. At the very beginning of the year, on the plains the temperature still reaches 20°, and in the mountains it can be below 0°.
Interesting fact! At the beginning of 2016, all news feeds were covered by the message that there was snowfall in the north of the country - about 10 centimeters of precipitation in the provinces of Ha Giang, Lao Cai, Lai Chau, Lang Son.
Hanoi and its surrounding areas are worth visiting either in spring or autumn.
Central Vietnam
The center is located in the tropical climatic zone. Largest quantity rains - in October and November, which is more typical for the foothills. In winter, the temperature stays at around 20°. Here is the resort of Dalat, called by its admirers “Vietnamese Switzerland” for its comfortable climate and fresh air, saturated with the smell of flowers and pine needles. IN summer months It’s not particularly hot here either, the thermometer confidently stays at 20-24°.
South
The weather in the south is pleasant all 12 months, which is explained by the influence of the subequatorial climate. The difference between winter and summer is the slight difference in temperature. It rains in the summer, capturing the off-season, but not constantly, but only a couple of hours a day. Due to the warm climate, moisture immediately evaporates. October in the south marks the beginning of the dry season. In winter, this part of the country is an ideal holiday destination.

The beginning of the period is December, the end is in spring. This time is also called the “high” season; it is ideal for beach holidays and swimming. That is why during the New Year holidays many Russians and Europeans prefer to leave their native snow-covered expanses and go towards the sea waves and white sand. Tourists usually flock to resorts in the south, where temperatures reach 30°.
Rain season
The amount of precipitation, as already mentioned, is directly related to zonation. If in the north and south it rains mainly from April to November, then in the center - from December to April. The following features are typical for the rainy season:
- high humidity;
- short-term daily precipitation;
- gusty wind.
The south at this time maintains a temperature maximum of 27°, with more cloudy and cool days.
On a note! The shortest rainy season is on the island of Phu Quoc; tourists vacation there almost all year round.
The center is characterized by colder weather -15-20°; due to the high level of humidity, things do not dry out. Swimming during this period is not recommended, as it is very big waves; Red flags are hung on the beaches, warning of the dangers of being in the water.
Note! The wet season in the central part is the time of typhoons. They usually occur in November-December. The beaches are a little dirty, as the sea brings garbage during high tides, it is constantly stormy, and the waves grow in height. During these months there are no excursions to the islands or fishing.
The north experiences a wet season, as already mentioned, from April to November. The thermometer ranges from +10° to +20°.
Cool season
In the southeast, the so-called “cool” season is considered to be the period from December to March. At this time you can see many surfers on the coast. They flock here to ride the waves off the east coast. It is also convenient to learn how to stand on the board (there are no obstacles in the form of reefs and rocks).

A country you can visit at any time of the year. If you want to spend time on the beach or traveling around the country, choose north or south depending on the season - and you will get the vacation you are looking for.
Features of the climate in the regions of the country
Conditionally climate map The country can be divided into three zones: southern, northern and eastern.
North characterizes a subtropical climate under the rule of monsoons. The rainy season begins at the end of April and ends by the beginning of October.
Summer here is extremely rainy, but hot, and in winter it is damp and also cool. In the mountains at this time there are frosts, and sometimes snow falls.
central District is also affected by the monsoons. January here is considered quite cool, but the temperature plus twenty degrees It is unlikely to frighten tourists from Russia, who know very well the value of real winter. October and November are the peak of the rainy season in the center of the country, and its time frame is from late July to January.
Southern climate Vietnam - tropical, soft. Northern winds do not penetrate here, the temperature is very even throughout all seasons. In the Mekong Delta it average is 26 degrees.
Best time to relax
Vietnam – hospitable state with exotic nature and numerous man-made ones.
The beginning of the best time Visits for tourists occur in winter: you can swim and sunbathe. The peak season is from December to early April.
May – end of October due to high rainfall not so popular, but they are attracted by lower prices for services, and this “plus” can seriously change the picture of popularity.
You can visit the country as a tourist at any time of the year; it is only important to choose the route wisely so that the weather conditions of a particular region do not disrupt your plans.
Rain season
Rainy season in Vietnam lasts up to six months, but never passes simultaneously throughout the entire country. This allows tourists to choose those resorts where they will not need an umbrella or a raincoat.
By the way, even the rains aren't that bad, as it seems. For example, at the most popular resorts in the south they do not overshadow your holiday: they run mainly at night, and during the day they are very short - half an hour to forty minutes. This time can be spent in a cafe or in a hotel. And you won’t have to sit for long - the heat and sun will replace the refreshing downpour.
The only “but”: in the center and north of Vietnam the weather is dominated by monsoons. They raise high waves, and holidays at sea can become unsafe.
That is why beach lovers are better off choosing the southern direction.

Air and water temperature in winter
Winter holidays in Vietnamese resorts comfortable and not very expensive. The weather at the most popular Vietnamese resorts is largely determined by the activity of the monsoon. It comes from the northeast, and thanks to it, when it rains in the north of the country, it is dry in the south and the sun shines brightly.
If guests of the country, in addition to the beach and sea, need some kind of experience, they can take part in the event taking place here. Fragrant Pagoda Festival. The festival lasts two months, so there is always the opportunity to choose the most interesting event taking place within its framework.
Photos and description of spring on the coast

The tourism industry of Vietnam offers many interesting excursions, which are organized in the central and northern regions of the country - where the beach season has not yet fully come into its own.
Summer vacation
main feature Vietnamese summer weather: it rains all over the country and only in the center is it dry, even a little rain is a very rare occurrence. In the central part of Vietnam, typhoons are common, and the evenings are cool.
- IN June Tourists feel most comfortable in the center and southeast of the country. There is less precipitation here than in other regions. It’s warm, although you can already feel a significant difference between the heat of the day and the coolness of the night. Judge for yourself: during the day – 33, at night – 24. The water temperature is from 28 to 29 degrees.
- IN July The thermometer indicates 33 degrees during the daytime, and drops to 27 at night. The water in the sea is 28 degrees. It's hot almost everywhere. For recreation, they choose places where there is less rain - for example, the central part of the country. And on the northern coast it is damp and hot. In the south, on the island of Phu Quoc there are tropical showers.
- IN August the rains are approaching central regions countries. But these rains, fortunately, are very short, and they do not have the power to interfere with the rest of tourists. Still hot. Water temperature is 28 - 29 degrees, air temperature - 33 (daytime) and 24 (at night).
The southwest and south are captured by the rains; combined with the heat, this creates not the most favorable conditions for relaxation: it’s stuffy.
The whims of autumn
Autumn brings with it strong wind, typhoons. But the rains are beginning to gradually recede, although so far only in the north. In all regions it is hot, up to plus thirty degrees. The most favorable conditions for relaxation at this time of year are on the island of Phu Quoc.
- IN September It’s warm in both the center and the south. During the day it is 32, and at night – 23 degrees. There is a lot of rain, especially in the north, but the central region is quite calm in terms of rain, and potential tourists focus their attention on it. Experts also recommend visiting the southeast of Vietnam, where it is especially comfortable in September.
- October considered least suitable for travel to Vietnam. Incessant rains, strong winds, typhoons. Water temperature from 27 to 28, atmospheric air 30 - 33 (day) and 23 - 24 (night).
The north comes first in popularity of resorts: there is little rain, swimming season in full swing, the sea is warmed up to 25 degrees. There is no sweltering heat.
- weather in November: the south again becomes the most popular: sea water is heated to 27 degrees. Air temperature is 32 (daytime) and 23 (at night). The rainy season is ending. The beaches are filled with sun.
Tourists can expect an unforgettable experience from the Mid-Autumn Festival. At the center of the holiday is a beautiful legend about a hero who flew to the moon.
But in the central regions there is still a lot of precipitation. In addition, typhoons are possible here, so beach holidays are a big question mark.
Tropical fruits
One of main features of the holiday in Vietnam - an opportunity to try tropical fruits. Some of them appear on tables all year round(bananas, coconuts, pineapples, papaya, guava), but there are also seasonal fruits, therefore, if your goal is to enjoy lychee or mangosteen, carefully study the “fruit calendar”:

- spring fruits: pitahaya, longan, durian, pomelo, tropical plum, mango, jackfruit, lychee, rambutan, avocado, mangosteen, herring;
- in the summer it's: pitahaya, pomelo, sapodilla, longan, avocado, durian, herring, citron, rambutan, cherimoya, persimmon;
