Best time to visit Vietnam

Northern winter and southern dry season (December to March, peak season): In Hanoi and the north, expect cooler, drier weather around 15–20°C (59–68°F), while the south around Ho Chi Minh City is warm and dry at about 25–30°C (77–86°F), ideal for city visits and beaches. Transitional months (April to May and October to November, shoulder season): Temperatures rise across the country, often 25–33°C (77–91°F), with a mix of sunshine and scattered showers, making this a flexible time to explore both cities and coast with fewer crowds. Wet season in much of the country (June to September, low season): Many regions see higher humidity and heavier showers or storms, with temperatures around 26–32°C (79–90°F); showers are often intense but short, and you can still enjoy greenery, quieter attractions, and lower visitor numbers.
