North Vietnam has two main
seasons - the hot and rainy summer and the cool and dry winter.
Summer - is hot and humid, especially inland, which is not
touched by cool coastal breezes. Tropical rain showers and the
occasional typhoon are also possibilities - light clothes and an
umbrella are recommended.
Winter - It remains fairly dry up until late February/March, when
it starts to drizzle almost constantly and waterproofs become a
necessity. Warm clothes are a must during the cool months, especially
when travelling in the hill areas.
Although temperatures can drop unexpectedly between December and
February, it can be a good time to explore the sights as days are cool
and rainfall is limited. It is also a safer time to visit the hill tribe
region avoiding mosquito related problems - although temperatures can
fall to freezing in these elevated areas.
Best time to visit: During winter when rainfall is minimal and temperatures are not too low.
