Vietnam is too stretched from north to south. Its territory is located immediately in several climatic zones. Therefore, the question of when the rainy season begins and ends in Vietnam is definitely difficult to answer. Tourists, vacationing in Thailand and knowing that the subequatorial belt covers with showers in the summer, can come to Hanoi in the winter and be amazed. Because the weather in Hanoi (and throughout North Vietnam) is not the warmest on New Year's Eve. It also happens that +6 only. Plus, it rains and wind. It makes sense to come to the north of the country only from May to September, as well as to the Crimea.
In the center of this state, on the coast, there are such famous resorts as Nha Trang, Da Nang, Da Lat. When planning a trip to this region, it is very important to know when the rainy season in Vietnam will begin. Nha Trang covers with showers and typhoons only in December, and all this continues until February. It is not rains that bring discomfort to tourists. They are just short-lived, go mostly at night or a couple of hours in the afternoon, and the tropical sun instantly dries the beach sand. No, the biggest trouble during the rainy season in Vietnam is the result of heavy winds and storms. The turbulent sea makes it difficult to swim and completely prohibits diving, as strong currents begin. In addition, from the abundance of moisture, the number of mosquitoes increases. The best time to visit Central Vietnam is a fairly short period from March to the end of May. In June, the risk of typhoon is also likely.
The south of the country lies, like Thailand with Cambodia, in a subequatorial climate. This means that in winter tropical (dry) winds come to these territories, and in summer - equatorial (wet) winds. Therefore, the resort (which Vietnam is rightfully proud of) Phan Thiet rainy season covers only in June. The same can be said about the city of Ho Chi Minh City and the adjacent resorts Sihanouk Ville, Long Hai, Vung Tau, Phu Quoc, Siem Reap. Not that the peak of the season here was in the winter months - Vietnam, although southern, is still not Thailand. Although clear, the temperature is not very high. At night, the thermometer can drop to + 20. However, for those who can hardly stand the thirty-degree heat, winter in the vicinity of Ho Chi Minh is exactly what you need. In addition, such weather is the best accompanying background for all sorts of excursions.
Tourists mainly come to the south of the country in the spring months - then it is already really hot, and the rainy season in Vietnam has not yet begun. The air warms up to 30-33 degrees, and the calm sea the color of clear blue azure - up to +28. But on the other hand, this is the peak of the season with all the ensuing consequences. But in the “wet season” resorts located in the mountains of Cheongshon enjoy their amazing microclimate. These low ridges impede the entry of monsoons and are dry here.
Now consider what is the rainy season in Vietnam and is it so scary as tour operators draw? Contrary to popular belief, rains during this period do not pour day-and-day without ceasing. Showers can sweep during daylight hours. The feeling is that the abyss of heaven has opened: thunder, the sparkle of lightning, rain like a bucket. But after an hour, all this light presentation ends, the sun peeps out again, and nature just comes to life. Flowers bloom, greens become juicy. Rains only slightly pacify the heat, which drops from +33 to quite comfortable +27. This whole rainbow picture, of course, does not apply to North Vietnam, where winter (as well as the rainy season) resembles a rainy October in Russia.
