The Republic of Vietnam - and this can be seen on the map of the country - stretches in a narrow strip from north to south. Most tourists come to this fertile land for the sun and swimming in the warm sea, but which region to choose at what time of the year is the key to a good, literally cloudless vacation. The territory of the country is divided into three North, Central, and the climate in each zone may also differ, depending on the height of the area above sea level.

The north of the country lies in the subtropical one.This means that in winter northerly winds blow, bringing cold and damp masses of air, and in summer - monsoons from the ocean, which establish sweltering and rainy weather. From the beginning of January to the end of February, cold rain is drizzling, and from July to the end of September it pours like a bucket (80% of the annual precipitation falls in three months). If you do not like cold weather, it is better not to go to North Vietnam in winter. The weather in January on the plains is about 17 ° С, but in the mountains, in the resort of Sapa, the thermometer often drops below 0 ° С and snow falls. Therefore, you should come to Hanoi and the surrounding area during the off-season - April-May or October-November. In autumn it is even better - you will be delighted by the sea that has not yet cooled down.

South of the ridges and uplands of Truong Son and up to 16 ° N. stretches Central Vietnam. The climate here is also not suitable for winter holidays: temperatures in January-February do not rise above + 20 ° C. The rainy season here lasts from August to January, reaching a peak in October-November. But the coastal plains are drier, it rains mainly in the foothills. In this region, there is the famous mountain resort of Dalat, located on a mountain plateau at an altitude of 1800 m. The resort was founded by the French, calling this area Vietnamese Switzerland - here, even in summer, the thermometer does not rise above + 25 ° C.

All of which is formed under the influence of monsoons, it is often prone to typhoons that strike the coast, bringing significant destruction, and sometimes even human casualties. This happens most often during the "wet" season: in the second half of summer and autumn in North and Central Vietnam. The south is less prone to typhoon strikes, although they do occur here too.

The "wet" season generally lasts only a month (October), the rest of the time sunny, calm weather awaits you the most favorable in terms of receiving tourists. Vietnam, thanks to its length of 2 thousand kilometers from north to south, receives tourists all year roundbut in the south, hotel prices skyrocket during the winter months as this is the peak tourist season. In the central part of the country, winter is a transitional period between "wet" and "dry" periods. At this time, storms are frequent in the region.

In most of Vietnam, the climate is tropical savanna. In regions where the altitude is lower, the climate is tropical monsoon, and in the northernmost part of the country the climate is warm. In southern Vietnam, the southwest monsoons cause high rainfall levels from mine to November. In some months, in some regions, 400 mm may be fixed. precipitation. During periods of high rainfall, heavy rainfall can cause flooding in the Mekong River. The coastal area east of the Annam Mountains is influenced by the northeast monsoons, which cause high rainfall levels in the region in October and November.

Air temperature in Vietnam

In the southern part of Vietnam, temperatures are quite stable. Daytime temperatures range from 30 to 36 degrees Celsius throughout the year. At night, temperatures rarely drop below 20 degrees Celsius. The climate of Vietnam in the northern part of the country, where the capital Hanoi is located, has strong variations in air temperature. In the summer, temperatures reach tropical levels. IN winter time temperature readings are only 20 to 24 degrees Celsius. The minimum temperatures (10-17) are lower here than in the southern part of the country. In winter, in high mountainous regions, both in the south in the area of \u200b\u200bMount Dalat and in the north in the area of \u200b\u200bthe border with China, the temperature can drop to freezing point, or even lower.

Hurricanes in Vietnam

From May to December, Vietnam is at risk of hurricanes. The greatest risk of a tropical storm, which can develop into a hurricane, occurs between July and October. Due to its location near the South China Sea, Vietnam is prone to tropical storms.

The territory of Vietnam is large enough, so no matter when you want to travel, you can choose a region where the weather will be appropriate for your desired vacation. Every region of the country has a dry season. In the north, it is May-June, September-October; in the south, it is December, January, February, March and April. All Vietnam is subject to monsoons: north from November to April, south from May to November. The observations of Vietnamese meteorologists clearly demonstrate that in the country's climate for last years there have been many changes. So, in the north of the country, the difference between the seasons is more and more clearly felt. It gets colder in winter and hotter in summer. Across all parts of Vietnam, typhoons and storms occur with increasing frequency during the tropical rain season. On the other hand, the dry period became even drier. Basically, the weather in Vietnam is characterized by slight variability. There are several types of climate in the country.

The climate of Vietnam is subtropical and tropical. It is always warm here and there is no difference between the seasons. Comfort temperature depends on the direction of the wind and the level of humidity of the flow of air masses. The monsoon climate makes it cool and fresh in winter, and not stuffy in summer, as in countries that are located at about the same latitude. In winter, it is even warmer here than in other popular resorts such as Turkey, Crimea or Sochi. The main disadvantage of the Vietnamese climate is high humidity during the rainy season. At this time, it can rain for several hours, but after it, the sun most often appears.

Vietnam can be divided into three climate regions: South, Central, and North. These regions have different terrain and weather can vary significantly.

Northern climatic zone

The north is characterized by a monsoon and subtropical climate. Winters are usually cool, and summers are quite humid. On flat terrain in winter, the thermometer does not exceed 20 ° C, and does not fall (with rare exceptions) below 5 ° C. In the higher mountains, frosts periodically occur, the winter period is very long and cold. In the north of Vietnam, the lowest temperatures in the country are recorded in February. Not far from the city of Shapa, and in some other cities located on the hills, it even snows. In late January, drizzling rains usually begin in northern Vietnam and end around mid-March. Then they resume at the end of May and last until early October, with the rains being especially active from July to September. About 80% of the annual rainfall falls during this period. In summer, the average air temperature reaches 31-32 ° C. The highest temperature was recorded a couple of years ago and amounted to almost 43 ° C.

Vietnam's weather in March is dry and very hot in this region. It is in this month that the high season opens, which will last until mid-May. The season will then resume in October. At this time, there is either no precipitation at all, or very little, and the sea is warm, but not hot.

The climate of the center, like that of the north, is subtropical and monsoon. Later than in other regions, the rains begin here, around August, and they are most intense until the end of autumn. In other regions during the same period it is already clear and dry. Occasionally, the tropical rain season can drag on until mid-January.

Coastal plains suffer less from rains, in contrast to eastern ridges and foothills of Truong Son. The well-known resort town of Dalat is located at 1800 meters above the sea. The temperature here does not rise above 25 ° C. The city is beautiful and is even called the local Switzerland.

Unfortunately, the region is actively deforested, leading to imbalances and causing numerous disastrous floods on rivers in the Chungbo region. During periods of high humidity, typhoons also occur, the strength of which weakens towards the south. In the south of the central region, eternal summer reigns and the temperature regime is almost the same as in the southern region. Central Vietnam in May is the peak of the dry, but not very hot season.

In the central region, the temperature does not drop below 20 degrees. average temperature air in winter is about 26 degrees, in spring - from 27 to 32 degrees. In early summer the temperature is still high, but by the end of August it drops to 29 degrees. The sea warms up by June when the water temperature is about 29 degrees and cools down in winter, in December, when the temperature is about 24 degrees. The rest of the time the water temperature is about 26-27 degrees.

Online booking is available on our website via the booking form at the beginning of this article.

In the south of Vietnam, the climate is tropical and mild. The region is closed from winds, so the temperature hardly changes throughout the year. The Mekong Delta is characterized by temperature indicators of about 26-27 ° C degrees. The weather in Vietnam in April is determined by the beginning of the rainy season, which lasts a very long time, up to November. It is during this time period that almost the entire annual precipitation rate falls, more than 90%. In the remaining months, only 7% of the annual rate falls. Sometimes droughts even happen, and typhoons on the coast.

As for the air temperature throughout the year, it changes slightly, the gap is about 4 degrees. The hottest months are in March and July, at which time the temperature can reach 35 degrees. Even in the coldest time, the thermometer does not drop below 26 degrees. As for water, the average annual temperature is about 28 ° C degrees.

In the north, the winter months are quite cold, the thermometer does not rise above 21 ° С, but in the spring the weather returns to normal, reaching 28 ° С by the end of May. Summers are warm enough here, but not hot. Temperature, on average, 30-32 degrees. In autumn, the temperature gradually drops to 23 degrees. The water temperature is the highest in summer - about 27 degrees, in winter an average of only 18 degrees.

Tourist season in Vietnam

Winter is the start of the high season in Vietnam. During this period, there are no showers and the air warms up to 30 degrees. Many of our compatriots wanting to avoid the cold on historical homeland rush to Vietnamese beaches. Some want to celebrate the new year in a non-standard setting, others go to health centers, of which there are a huge number. By the way, Vietnam is on New Year abounds in Russian-speaking tourists. Rest at this time cannot be called budget, in contrast to the summer period. The weather in Vietnam in May most often changes and rainstorms begin.

Despite the tropical rainy season, many people rest in Vietnam in summer. The fact is that in some regions the showers last only a few hours, after which the heat reigns again. Some people even like this opportunity to “cool off” on a hot day. However, the choice of the region for travel at this time must be approached very deliberately, because in Vietnam there are many destructive typhoons. For example, in such a calm climatic zoneAs a center, in August typhoons bring downpours that practically inundate cities. At the end of summer and almost until the end of autumn, you should limit yourself to a trip to the southern region, because every year during typhoons in the north and in the center of the country, a huge number of people die. Including tourists.

Forgive me simply, if you use our convenient hotel booking service through the form above.

Having considered climatic features each region, we can conclude about the place of the planned vacation in this country. However, it is equally important what kind of rest you are interested in.

Most often, our compatriots dream of relaxing on a beautiful beach under the scorching sun. Vietnamese beaches are suitable for swimming all year round. However, a certain region corresponds to a specific period. The water temperature usually ranges from + 26 ° C to + 28 ° C. All year round, regardless of the season, these indicators are almost the same. The weather in Vietnam in January can be roughly called the velvet season. At this time, precipitation is practically impossible. Vietnam is also beautiful in February and is great for a beach holiday.

All these characteristics are mostly related to the southern part of the country. In the north and in the center, it is not customary to swim in winter. In summer, the rest in the north can be, among other things, spoiled by the rains.

Lovers of outdoor activities will also find a lot of interesting things in Vietnam. It is here that the most budgetary diving, and everything is organized at a high level, and the underwater worlds of the South China Sea are amazing and diverse. The period from December to February is characterized by a raging sea, in the rest of the months the diving season is open. It is important to note that each diving center has its own season, which should be clarified before the trip. Almost every Vietnamese beach has its own diving center, but the most popular are: Phu Quoc Islands, Con Dao archipelago, Uel, mainland Nha Trang, where a beautiful bay and a Russian-speaking diving center are located.

In winter, you can also go kiting and surfing, but the best time for these sports is between September and April. There are also many opportunities for fishing enthusiasts in Vietnam. Vietnam is teeming with rains in summer, of course, fishing is impossible. The rest of the time, there are numerous mountain rivers, open sea and fresh lakes at the service of vacationers.

The rainy season in Vietnam is rare, but every tourist should know about it, video:

Vietnam in January marks the beginning of a period of sightseeing tourism, which ends around April. By the way, Vietnam in April is compared in terms of climatic indicators in different regions. April is the perfect month to travel across the country rather than a specific region. It turns out that all year round, given the region and the preferred type of tourism, you can enjoy your vacation in this beautiful country. The weather in Vietnam will delight many tourists!

Vietnam's climate is tropical monsoon in the north of the country, and subequatorial monsoon in the southern part of the country. In general, the climate of Vietnam resembles that of neighboring Cambodia and Laos , and develops under the influence of monsoons. The country is characterized by a large number of precipitation, consistently high humidity and, at the same time, many sunny days a year.

There are three regions in the country - the northern one with dry and mild winters and humid hot summers, the central one with high temperatures and humidity throughout the year and southern, whose climate is similar to that of the northern regions, but with higher temperatures. In summer, the humid summer monsoon of the southern and southwestern directions prevails here, in winter - the dry northeastern one.

During the year, the air temperature in the north of the country rises from + 15 ° С - + 19 ° С in winter to + 32 ° С in summer. In the south, the annual temperature range is not so wide: in winter about + 30 ° С, in summer, on average, + 35 ° С. Snow falls in the mountains in the north in winter and remains on the highest peaks for several days.

In northern Vietnam, the dry season lasts from November to April, with the least rainfall in December and January (about 10 mm). Maximum amount precipitation falls in July - August and varies, depending on the location, from 270 to 450 mm per month, and in the period from July to September 80% of the annual precipitation amount, which is 1,400 - 1,700 mm, falls. In mountainous regions, the amount of precipitation per year reaches 3,000 mm. In the mountains at heights of more than 1,500 meters, in winter at night there are frosts, snow is not excluded. In the second half of summer and autumn, typhoons are frequent in the northern regions.

In central Vietnam, the coldest month is January. During the summer, the air temperature remains practically unchanged. By the nature of moisture in this region, a special area of \u200b\u200bcoastal lowlands stands out. They are protected from the southwestern monsoon by the Truong Son mountains, therefore, the maximum precipitation does not fall on summer months, as in other areas, but in the autumn. The wettest months are September and October, when 400-500 mm of precipitation falls. The rainy season lasts until January. The smallest amount of precipitation falls on February - March (about 40 mm).

In the south, the rainiest months are also July and August, but precipitation is higher - from 400 to 700 mm. Most often it rains during the day in the form of intermittent showers. The warmest month is April.

The sea water temperature in the south changes little during the year - from + 25 ℃ to + 30 ℃. The further north you go, the more the water cools down in winter. In the Halong Bay area in January, the water temperature drops to + 15 ℃. Thus, there is no year-round swimming season in the north. In northern Vietnam, the break lasts from November to March, and in central Vietnam, from December to March.

Vietnam is one of the countries most prone to natural disasters. According to the UN, Vietnam is among the five countries that will be most affected by climate change. Due to its climate, the country is at risk of floods, droughts, salt water intrusion, landslides and flooding due to rising sea levels. The Mekong Delta region suffers from erosion and ocean penetration into land. From 2001 to 2010, 1.5% of the country's GDP per year was spent on eliminating the consequences of natural disasters related to weather.

At the same time, Vietnam cannot be called a very windy place. Strong winds occur during typhoons. There are frequent breezes on the seaside, which bring comfort in very hot weather.

Typhoon is a type of tropical cyclone that is typical of the eastern part The Pacific from the north Indonesia to the south of Kamchatka. Comes from the Chinese "strong wind". But they are also accompanied by heavy, long rains. Typhoons start around Philippines , then touch Vietnam and move north without leaving coastal areas. The vast majority of typhoons pass through central Vietnam in October - November. But they also happen in other regions, from August to November.

Winter in Vietnam

In winter, you can relax in Vietnam with great comfort. However, the most important thing here is to choose the right region. It is very cool in the north of Vietnam, but the southern resorts of the country are already welcoming vacationers.

In December, the dry season begins in the south, the amount of precipitation drops to 3 - 5 days a month. This refers to the south of the state - Vung Tau, Phan Thiet, Mui Ne, Phu Quoc Island. There is little rain in these parts of the country in December. All three winter months considered the best time for beach holiday... It is as hot during the day as in summer, and the temperature sea \u200b\u200bwater is + 25 ° C - + 27 ° C. In Ho Chi Minh City and Phan Thiet, during the day, the mercury column reaches + 33˚C above zero, and at night + 22˚C, the water temperature in Phan Thiet is + 25˚C. It is better to plan your vacation for the second half of the month: after heavy rainfall in early December, the sea is muddy. Evenings can be devoted to walking or tasting food in cozy restaurants, as the heat subsides, favoring active pastime.

In the north, the picture is diametrically opposite. Here, the air temperature ranges from + 13 ° C to 15 ° C, and in the highlands it can drop to + 2 ° C. Snow is often observed on the peaks. It rains constantly in this part of Vietnam. Air temperatures are not conducive to relaxing on the beach: during the day in Halong + 22 ° C, and at night - + 15 ° C. The sea water is cool - + 21 ° C. Hanoi is also quite comfortable, but not hot.

In the central regions it is much warmer, but swimming is nevertheless cool because of the strong dampness. In Nha Trang, it rains periodically - the air temperature during the day is + 27˚C, at night + 21˚C, the water temperature is + 24˚C. In addition, from December to February there is a great roughness of the sea. Precipitation falls, but in moderation. These values \u200b\u200bare not critical, but this weather is not suitable for sunbathing on the beach. The temperature is not high either environment.

The weather in Vietnam in January is the coldest of the year, but it is the middle of winter that is considered the high season for the resorts of the southern part of the country.

Phu Quoc Island is optimal for rest at this time. During the day it is + 30˚C, at night - + 22˚C, and the water in the Gulf of Thailand is approximately + 26 ° C. The air humidity is, of course, quite high, but there is practically no rain, and the wind is weak. Less suitable, but also comfortable, weather in Vietnam in January in the south and southeast of the state. There is little rainfall in Vung Tau. Daytime readings - + 30 ° C, night - + 21˚C, and sea water - + 24˚C. A strong wind is likely in this area. In Phan Thiet, the ambient temperature is + 28˚C during the day, up to + 22˚C at night, and about + 25 ° C at sea. It is also windy here, which attracts surfers to the southeast. In Ho Chi Minh City, by noon, the air warms up to + 32˚C, at night - up to + 21 ночьюC.

For the central regions of Vietnam, January is a transitional time. The amount of precipitation is quite moderate, however, the sky is often covered by clouds, therefore, this month is not suitable for relaxing on the beach, besides, the water is cool. In Nha Trang, in comparison with the beginning of winter, the weather has improved - precipitation has almost stopped, and the temperature has hardly changed - during the day + 27˚C, at night + 20˚C, water temperature + 22˚C.

It's pretty cool in Hanoi, and if you decide to stay in one of the capital's hotels, you should inquire in advance about the availability of heating or a heater. The daytime air temperature in Hanoi is only + 19˚C, the night temperature averages + 14˚C.

February is one of the dry season months. Natural disasters are absent, which will allow you to travel to any region of Vietnam.

In February, it is comfortable to relax on the islands and the southern coast of Vietnam, enjoying the beaches and the sea. This is the time of the non-rainy season, therefore, the amount of precipitation is minimal. On Phu Quoc Island, during the day it is about + 31 ° С, at night it is fresh, + 21 ° С, the water is warm - + 27˚C. In Phan Thiet and Ho Chi Minh City, the average daytime temperature is + 32˚C, at night + 22˚C. The water in Phan Thiet warms up to + 24˚C. It is windy in this part of the state, however, the wind is not gusty, therefore, it will not interfere with rest.

Very inappropriate weather in the northern part. In Hanoi, evenings and nights are slightly warmer than in January (+ 16˚C), and during the day the average temperature is kept at the same level (+ 19˚C). Temperatures are low near the coast. Travelers vacationing at this time in the north of Vietnam are engaged only in excursions.

It is much colder in the center of Vietnam in February than in the south. In Da Nang during the day - + 26 ° C, at night - about + 20˚C. In Nha Trang, during the day it is + 28˚C, and at night - + 20˚C, the water temperature is + 23˚C. Although it almost never rains, there are few tourists here because the sea is cooler.

Spring in Vietnam

At the beginning of spring, it gets warmer in the north of Vietnam; in the south, the beach season has long been open. Almost throughout Vietnam, the weather is cloudless in March, when rains are unlikely. The beginning of spring is the peak of the "dry season" in the southern part of the country. At this time, there is no intense heat, therefore, there are enough tourists in the south and southeast. March and April are good times for a trip to Vietnam, and in May the wet season begins, which will end only in autumn.

Cool enough off the northern coast of the country. You won't be able to swim here. But, in this area, it is clear that precipitation is unlikely, therefore, the beginning of spring is a great period for excursions and trips to the islands of Halong Bay. In March, the capital becomes warmer - during the day the air temperature already reaches + 22 +C, the average night temperature in Hanoi is fixed at + 18˚C above zero.

In Da Nang, the air temperature during the day is + 29˚C, and its average nighttime is + 22˚C. Optimum levels - + 24 ° C - are also reached by water. In Nha Trang, by noon the temperature is + 30˚C, by the night it drops to + 21˚C, the average water temperature is + 25˚C.

With the arrival of spring, the heat sets in southern Vietnam. In Ho Chi Minh City and Phan Thiet, the daytime temperature in March reaches + 33˚C, at night + 23˚C. The sea water on the Phan Thiet coast warms up to + 26˚C. In Fukuoka, high temperatures are also recorded: during the day +32 ˚C, warm nights - + 22˚C, water temperature + 27˚C. The winds during this period of time are not strong, therefore, a beach holiday will delight.

April is an ideal time for lovers of water sports and relaxation on the beach, you can swim not only in the south, but also in the north of the country. It rains, but not often and ends quickly.

The heat has also become in the capital Hanoi, now, most likely, warm clothes will not be needed even in the dark (the temperature at night, on average, + 22˚C), during the day the air temperature is + 27˚C. Halong is added to the list of resorts in Vietnam in April, where all temperature indicators have suitable values. During the day, the air heats up to + 27 ° C, at night - up to + 21 ° C, therefore, you should not go to the beach without sunscreen. The water temperature is + 23 ° C, but, in the absence of wind and precipitation, the value is quite comfortable.

In Ho Chi Minh City and Phan Thiet, mercury columns rise to + 35˚C during the day, and stop at + 25˚C at night. The water temperature in Phan Thiet is + 27˚C. On Phu Quoc Island, still good weather, during the day + 33˚C is fixed, and in the dark + 23 +C, the water is very warm - + 28˚C.

In Nha Trang, it is a little cooler, the daytime temperature here is kept at around + 31˚C, at night dropping to + 23˚C, the water warms up to + 26˚C. It is dry here, although quite humid. Swimming in the sea is extremely pleasant. The average daily temperature in Da Nang reaches + 31˚C, in the dark - + 23˚C. There is little rain here, and the water temperature is + 26 ° C.

IN last month spring in Vietnam begins a long wet season, it is worth noting that it rains in May, mainly at night. The most optimal weather in Vietnam in May is in the center of the country, where the "dry" season is at its peak. In Da Nang and Hoi An, precipitation is almost absent. But, the ambient temperature is high here, therefore, you should not go to the beach without protective equipment. During the day near the coast - + 33 ° C, at night, too, hot. In Nha Trang, the daytime temperature is + 32˚C, at night + 24˚C, the temperature of coastal waters is + 28 ° C.

May is considered the beginning of the rainy season in the northern regions, although, so far, there is little rainfall. Showers are quickly replaced by clear weather. In Hanoi, during the day, mercury columns rise to + 31˚C, at night, the temperature is fixed at + 25˚C. You can swim, the water in Halong Bay heats up to + 27˚C.

Relatively good weather in May and in the south. IN southern parts countries May - the beginning of the period of precipitation, therefore, showers and stuffiness join the heat. The number of rains is growing, and even higher rates are observed in Ho Chi Minh City. The likelihood of showers increases in Fukuoka, and the rest becomes less pleasant than in early spring. In Mui Ne, Phan Thiet, precipitation is likely in the afternoon, while in the morning it is sunny and dry. It can be stuffy in these areas, since the air gets very hot during the day. In Phan Thiet and Ho Chi Minh, the daytime temperature is high - + 35˚, at night - + 25˚C. Swimming will not bring any relief - the water in Phan Thiet and Fukuoka is + 28˚C - + 29˚C. The air temperature in Fukuoka during the day is + 32˚C, at night, on average, + 24˚C. It is especially hot in Vung Tau and other coastal regions of the south, the air during the day - up to + 34˚C, and at night the temperature drops to + 25 ° C.

Summer in Vietnam

In summer, very few tourists come to Vietnam; practically, there are heavy tropical rains throughout the country. Typhoons, which often occur in the central part of the country, and slightly less often in the north and south, pose a real danger to life. Surprisingly, given a high level of humidity, summer weather in Vietnam is much easier to tolerate than, for example, in Turkey or Egypt .

Hot and wet weather in Vietnam and in the northern part of the country, and the air temperature is very high. Although the water is warm, this is not the best time to relax on the beaches of the north. Here, too, it rains, after which already imperfect roads are often washed out. When traveling to the capital, you also need waterproof raincoats, because in Hanoi the same amount of precipitation falls. You need to prepare for stuffy days: in conditions of high humidity during the day the temperature is + 33 ° C and + 27˚C - at night. The breezes blowing from the sea bring a little relief.

In the southern and southwestern regions of Vietnam, June is the peak of the rainy season. The showers are very powerful, it feels like the sky just burst! Within a radius of half a meter, absolutely nothing is visible. However, it rains for a couple of hours. Vung Tau receives a lot of precipitation, and the temperature is high - + 30˚C during the day and + 25˚C at night. The sea water heats up to + 28˚C, but it is not very good to rest here, as well as on Phu Quoc Island, due to the increase in humidity. The southern regions far from the coast are also covered with dampness, and the temperature in the morning and evening is + 32˚C and + 24˚C, respectively. In Phan Thiet and Ho Chi Minh, the daytime temperature is + 33˚C, at night + 24˚C. The water temperature in Phan Thiet is + 29˚C. In Fukuoka, in June, the water warms up to + 28˚C, and the average daytime temperature is + 32˚C, at night it is very warm + 25˚C.

The only areas in June where the holiday will be great are the center and the southeast. The weather in Vietnam is humid and stifling in most of the country, and there is little rainfall here. In Da Nang, Hoi An at this time the rains are not long. It is very warm in this area, therefore, rest on the beach will be more than successful. The difference between day and night temperatures, although significant, will not let you freeze when walking in the evening. The sea water is very pleasant for swimming. In Nha Trang, during the day - +33 ˚C, at night - up to + 24˚C. The sea breeze inherent in these regions is somewhat pleasing. There is very little rainfall, and the water temperature is + 28˚C, therefore, these places in early summer are in demand among travelers.

The weather in Vietnam is very hot in July. However, the decisive factor for holidaymakers is not the temperature, but the rain and humidity. Rest in the center and in the south-east will be successful, and in the north and south, the period of rainfall reaches its apogee.

In the middle of summer in the capital of the country during the day the temperature reaches + 33˚C, and at night the thermometers drop to + 27˚C.

The most unsuitable weather in July is considered in the south. It is hot in Vung Tau, the water is warm, the amount of precipitation is large. It's even hotter in Ho Chi Minh City. In addition, in this area, far from the coast, the heat is felt more strongly. The water temperature in Phan Thiet and Fukuoka, on average, + 28˚C - + 29˚C. The average air temperature in Phan Thiet and Ho Chi Minh City remains at the same level as in early summer - + 33˚C during the day and + 24˚C at night. On Phu Quoc Island, the rains turn into tropical showers, at times quite long. The ambient temperature is high: during the day + 31 ° C, at night - + 25 ° C. Midsummer is the low season here, so there are almost no tourists.

In Da Nang, Hoi An, during the day + 34 ° C, at night - + 25 ° C, and the water warms up to + 30 ° C. In this territory of Vietnam, in July, conditions are also quite pleasant for a beach holiday. There is little rain in Nha Trang, and the air warms up to + 33 ° C during the day and up to + 24 ° C in the evening, the water temperature is + 28˚C.

Wet and hot weather in Vietnam and on the north coast. In Haiphong and Halong, daytime temperatures are + 33 ° C, and nighttime is about + 26 ° C, there is a lot of rain, and the water temperature is + 28 ° C. There is much more rainfall in Hanoi, and the temperature readings are similar, therefore, if possible, you should not go to excursions or stock up on a raincoat.

The last month of summer in Vietnam is not getting colder. Vietnam's weather in August is hot and humid throughout. The air temperature is almost the same in all regions, but the amount of precipitation varies. The rainy season in the north and south is at its peak, but in the center it is just starting.

Unsuitable weather in Vietnam in August and on the shores of the Gulf of Thailand, on Phu Quoc Island, where during the day + 30˚C, at night - up to + 24 ° C, a lot of precipitation. In Phan Thiet and Ho Chi Minh, the average temperature throughout the summer is kept at the same level - + 33˚C during the day, + 24˚C at night. The water temperature in Fukuoka and Phan Thiet is + 28˚C - + 29˚C. In the districts off the coast, in Ho Chi Minh City, it is also not good. It rains a lot, during the day the air reaches + 32 ° C, and at night - + 24 ° C. The cost of hotel accommodation and excursions is much lower, but just for the sake of economy, you should not go to the south of Vietnam at this time.

The likelihood of rain in the central part of Vietnam in August is gradually increasing, but has not yet reached too high rates. Precipitation is likely, but they are short-term, therefore, they will hardly be able to interfere with the vacation. The air temperature is great for a beach holiday. During the day in Nha Trang, thermometer columns record the temperature at + 33˚C, dropping to + 24˚C at night.

The weather in Vietnam in August on the northern coast is damp and hot, the amount of precipitation is extremely high. A trip to these places at the end of summer is not the best solution. In the capital Hanoi, the temperature does not change throughout the summer: the average temperature during the day is + 33˚C, at night + 27˚C above zero.

Autumn in Vietnam

If you decide to travel to Vietnam in the fall, then perhaps you should consider your decision again. The rainy season will not end until October. And if the rains are not as bad as they are unpleasant, then typhoons can be dangerous. The beginning of autumn is a low tourist season because it rains almost everywhere on the coast. In the central regions, they are short-lived, and the rest of the time it is sunny, in the north and south, showers are frequent and quite long.

In the northernmost provinces of the country, there are fewer and fewer cloudy days in September, however, typhoons can rage until mid-October, causing huge waves. Precipitation in Haiphong and Ha Long is more moderate than in summer, because the rainy season ends, however, there are many of them, but, at the same time, it is hot in the south. The water is warm, but there are still few tourists. In the capital of Vietnam, the daytime temperature is + 31˚C, the nighttime + 26˚C.

The first two months of autumn in the south of the country are characterized by heavy downpours, usually in the afternoon, and high temperatures of air and water. Storms are not excluded, however, they do not occur as often this season as in other regions. In Phan Thiet and Ho Chi Minh, the average temperature is + 33˚C during the day and + 24˚ at night. It rains here often. Their likelihood increases as you move south. It is quite rainy in Vung Tau, and with significant heat such conditions are very unpleasant. The weather in September in the Gulf of Thailand and on Phu Quoc Island is also not impressive. On Phu Quoc Island, the daytime temperature is + 30˚C, and at night + 25˚C.

It is quite dangerous to rest in the central regions in autumn. Until the very beginning of winter, the strongest hurricanes make themselves felt here. Of course, not all provinces are exposed to it, therefore, in "calm" areas at this time it is rather dry and very warm. In Nha Trang, the amount of precipitation is considerable, but on some days it may not be at all. All temperature indicators are favorable for a beach holiday. One feels stuffiness, which is tolerated quite easily due to the sea breeze. In Nha Trang, by noon, the air warms up to + 32˚C, at night to + 23˚C. The average water temperature in Nha Trang is + 28˚C.

October is one of the worst months for tourism. The heat is already subsiding, it is getting cooler. The weather in Vietnam in October is sunny and dry in the north, while in the center a period of rainstorms with high humidity, rain and winds starts. It rains almost every day, strong winds and even typhoons are frequent.

The cost of trips to Halong and other northern regions of Vietnam rises in October, because it rains here, but not enough, and temperature indicators make it possible to relax on the beaches. In the capital of Vietnam - Hanoi, the daytime temperature in October reaches + 28˚C, at night the temperature drops to + 23˚C. In Haiphong and Halong, the daytime air reaches + 29 ° C, and the nighttime readings are + 22 ° C, sea water is + 25 ° C, and there is no sweltering heat.

Mid-autumn weather conditions in other areas of the state are hot and rainy. In the south, the rainfall season is actively declining, but the amount of precipitation is still significant, and the temperatures are also moderate. The sea water is comfortable, but there are few tourists because of the rains. The precipitation season continues on Phu Quoc Island. Although they are strong, they are short-lived. To the uncomfortable moments is added the dirty water in the bay after a period of heavy rain, but it is very warm - + 28 ° C.

The most unenviable weather in the state is at the peak of autumn - in the central and southeastern regions of the coast, where a strong gusty wind blows, there are typhoons, and the rain pours like a bucket. Stuffiness joins the dampness, because the temperature is quite high. There is a little less rainfall in Nha Trang, but there are still few travelers.

In the last month of autumn, the weather in the capital Hanoi is very unpredictable, precipitation and typhoons are possible, it is better to choose another region of the country for recreation. In Hanoi, during the day - + 25˚C, at night - + 19˚C, and there is little precipitation.

The weather in the country in November is extremely unsuitable in the central regions. In Hoi An and Da Nang there are typhoons, and precipitation practically does not stop. The air temperature is high, but there are very few tourists who want to visit the area in late autumn. The southeast coast of the country in November is also affected by the rainy season. Temperature values, although optimal, but there can be no question of relaxing on the beach in this area. The air temperature in the city of Nha Trang: at night - + 22˚C, in the daytime - + 29˚C, and the water temperature - + 24˚C.

The weather in Vietnam in November divides the territory depending on temperature conditions and types of recreation. All connoisseurs of the sun, sea and sultry beaches should head south. The rainy season ends here. They are possible, but less and less frequent. Precipitation in Vung Tau is insignificant, and during the day - + 32 ° C. In Ho Chi Minh City and Phan Thiet, daytime temperatures reach + 32˚C, dropping to + 23˚C at night. Tourists return to Phu Quoc, the waters of the South China Sea, washing the shores of the island, heat up to + 27˚C, and the daytime temperature is kept at + 30˚C, dropping to + 23˚C at night.

Most of the country receives over 1,000 mm of precipitation per year. It is even rainy on the hills and in the foothills, these areas account for 2,000 to 2,500 mm. In the south of Vietnam, the climate is drier, sunny days prevail. From May to September (in the central regions from September to January) the rainy season lasts, the rest of the time precipitation is rare.

Most of the precipitation in the country falls due to typhoons and tropical cyclones. They increase cloud cover and precipitation in the north and north-east facing central elevations; periodically, there is a light rain. In the south, this season is usually drier and sunnier.

When to go to Vietnam

There are no good or bad seasons to visit Vietnam. When one region is too damp, cold or sweltering hot, there is always a place where it is sunny and pleasant. Considering the large extent of the country from north to south, there are significant local differences. Having understood them, you can always choose a place to relax on the sea - somewhere there is always warm or moderately hot weather without rain.

In the south, there are mainly two seasons: the rainy season (May to November, the highest humidity is from June to August) and the dry season (December to April). The hottest and wettest period lasts from February to May. Winter is the high season for southern Vietnam and the best time for a beach holiday. Many are pursuing the goal of escape from the chilly European winds and the kingdom of snow. The only disadvantage of a holiday in high season is its high cost.

Summer is the low season for the resorts of southern Vietnam, which coincides with the tropical rainy season, which falls from May to the end of October. However, admirers summer vacation in Vietnam it is enough, because it costs much less. It should be borne in mind that the choice of a vacation spot in the low season must be approached very seriously, since in addition to tropical showers, there is a great threat of destructive typhoons covering dozens of provinces.

The central coast is dry from May to October and humid from September to February. The highlands are significantly cooler than the lowlands, and temperatures can be very low during winter.

In the north, there are two seasons: cool, wet winters (November to April) and hot summers (May to October). In the northern and central regions, floods are likely to occur between July and November.

If we talk about the whole of Vietnam, then the end of March, April and the beginning of May are the very period when you can comfortably relax on the beaches along the entire length of the sea coast. At this time, the dry season reigns in every corner of the country and it is warm everywhere.

One of the reasons why Vietnam is so loved by outdoor enthusiasts is the cheapest diving in the world. Despite the low prices, it is organized no worse than in expensive European resorts. The underwater world of the South China Sea is replete with a variety of colorful flora and fauna: bizarre corals, like colorful fish painted with watercolors, sea cows, huge green turtles, mysterious grottoes and much more. General diving season: all months, except for the period from December to February, which is characterized by excessively rough seas.

Surfing as a sport in Vietnam is just starting to gain momentum, today some resorts even arrange professional competitions. However, in general, surfing here is no longer focused on beginners, but on those who feel quite confident on the board. The most favorable season for kite, wind, sup and classic surfing on the southern coast of the country is between September and April. For those who are looking for more "modest" waves, the eastern resort of Vung Tau is suitable, from January to the end of March and from November to December, surfing is especially good here. It is better to come to Mui Ne to ride from January to March - April and from October - November to December.

Vietnam is a real paradise for anglers, as the local reservoirs are simply teeming with a wide variety of fish, among which there are many endemics and "trophies", such as a shell pike or angel fish. You can fish both on mountain rivers, freshwater lakes, and in the open sea. The best time for this activity is a “quiet” season, when there are no winds and heavy rains, that is, summer is a kind of taboo for fishing.

Typhoons in Vietnam are a real threat to human life, the "season" begins in the last days of summer. In general, it lasts from late summer to mid-November, sometimes, however, lingering in certain territories of the country for a longer period. Typhoons are not strong winds, and powerful vortex air currents of crushing force, moving at a speed of up to 20 km / h. First of all, they fall on the central regions, for which the most dangerous period is from the third week of September to the first days of December. Therefore, it is better to refuse to visit, first of all, Hue and Da Nang. Further, the north of the country with its capital Hanoi is exposed to the invasion, where typhoon activity dies down in mid-late October. By the way, they lead not only to great destruction of cities, but also to large floods. Be extremely careful!

Tours to Vietnam - specials of the day

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam has a unique geographical position, namely: the country is so elongated in shape that it covers several climatic zones at once.

The southern part of the state is located in a part where a tropical monsoon climate prevails, and the seasons are recognized depending on how much precipitation has fallen and in which direction the wind is blowing.

The climate of Vietnam is characterized by abundant tropical rain that starts in May and ends in October. During the rest of the year, a dry season is set in the south of the country. All twelve months the sea water temperature in this part of Vietnam is kept at around + 26-28 degrees Celsius.

If we talk about its northern part, it changes somewhat. In this zone, there is a more pronounced transition from winter to spring and from summer to autumn. North Vietnam is tropical. There are heavy rainfalls from June to August, despite the fact that the weather is hot. At the same time, a huge amount of precipitation falls in the northern provinces in winter, and the air temperature decreases.

In the central regions of the country in winter, the climate is milder than in the north of Vietnam, at the same time, in summer it is somewhat cooler here than in the southern part of the state.

The climate of Vietnam has another remarkable feature - a high level of humidity, so not every tourist feels as comfortable as possible here.

In the first two spring months In the southern part of Vietnam, the temperature rises significantly, the sea becomes warm, and it can provide some relief from the heat. At the same time, already at the beginning of May, the climate of Vietnam in this geographical point becomes different - abundant tropical showers begin, so there are not so many people who want to relax here.

In the central provinces, the air temperature is set in spring, which ranges from +22 to +27 degrees Celsius, and it rains periodically. Quite hot weather sets in here in May.

In spring, the north of the country is also very warm, but much more precipitation falls.

Summer time in Vietnam is different for each geographic zone. In the south of the country, the air temperature reaches +33 degrees Celsius, and the rains are abundant and regular. In the north of Vietnam, in recent years, hotter weather has been set in the summer months than in the south of the state, and showers are not uncommon here. In the central part of Vietnam, the weather is more or less dry in summer, but in August there is a huge amount of rainfall. The water temperature in the country during this period of the year is +29 degrees Celsius.

Autumn in the southern provinces of Vietnam again brings heavy rainfall, which falls, as a rule, in the afternoon. At the same time, the air and water temperatures are quite high. In addition, storms are typical for this zone in autumn.

Many Russian tourists consider Vietnam as a country for autumn holidays. The climate in November in the south of the country is characterized by a decrease in precipitation. Despite the fact that there is a high level of humidity, the beginning of autumn is easier to tolerate than in Egypt and Turkey. The climate allows divers to explore the depths of the South China Sea as given view recreation in this country is considered one of the most affordable.

Winter in Vietnam is the best time for a beach holiday. The temperature of both air and water allows you to sunbathe and enjoy swimming. The exception is northern and central Vietnam, where it is cooler due to strong dampness.
