Best time to visit Vietnam

Vietnam’s climate varies by region, but you can think of the year in three broad travel seasons. From December to March (peak season), northern cities like Hanoi are cool and dry at around 15–22°C (59–72°F), while the south around Ho Chi Minh City is warm and dry at 25–32°C (77–90°F), which is popular for sightseeing and beach breaks. From April to August (shoulder season), much of the country is hot, often 28–35°C (82–95°F), with central areas such as Da Nang enjoying plenty of sunshine, though afternoon showers are common in the south and thunderstorms can occur. From September to November (low season), temperatures ease slightly to about 22–30°C (72–86°F); this is a transitional period with clearer days in the north but increased rain and occasional storms, especially in the central coastal region.
