Best time to visit Vietnam

Vietnam's climate varies by region, but you can think of three broad travel seasons. From November to March (peak season), many regions are cooler and drier, with temperatures often around 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) in the north and mid 20s °C (mid 70s °F) in the south, making it popular for city and cultural trips. April to June and October (shoulder season) bring warmer temperatures of roughly 24–30 °C (75–86 °F), with more humidity and some showers, but also fewer crowds in many areas. July to September (low season) can be hot and humid, around 28–33 °C (82–91 °F), with heavier rainfall and occasional storms, especially along the central coast, but this period can suit travellers who prefer a quieter atmosphere.
