Vietnam is too stretched from north to south. Its territory is located in several climatic zones. Therefore, the question of when and when the rainy season in Vietnam begins and is unequivocally difficult to answer. Tourists who vacation in Thailand and who know that the subequatorial belt covers the showers in the summer, can come to Hanoi in the winter and be amazed. Because the New Year the weather in Hanoi (and throughout North Vietnam) is not the warmest. Happens and 6 only. Plus to it - rains and a wind. In the north of the country, it makes sense to come only from May to September, as in 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 begins in Vietnam. Nha Trang covers with showers and typhoons only in December, and all this continues until February. Discomfort tourists do not bring rain. They are just short-lived, they go mostly at night or a couple of hours in the afternoon, and the tropical sun immediately dries up the beach sand. No, the worst trouble in the rainy season in Vietnam is the heavy wind and storm. The troubled sea makes swimming difficult and completely prohibits diving, since strong currents begin. In addition, the abundance of moisture increases the number of mosquitoes. The best time to visit Central Vietnam is a relatively short period from March to the end of May. In June, the risk of a typhoon is also likely.
The south of the country lies, like Thailand and Cambodia, in the subequatorial climate. This means that in winter, tropical (dry) winds come to these territories, and in summer - equatorial (wet) winds. Therefore, the resort (which is rightfully proud of Vietnam) Phan Thiet rainy season covers only in June. The same can be said about the city of Ho Chi Minh City and the adjoining resorts of Sihanouk Ville, Long Hai, Vung Tau, Phu Quoc, Siem Reap. Not that the peak of the season here was in the winter months - Vietnam, though southern, it's still not Thailand. Although it is clear, the temperature is not very high. At night, the thermometer can drop to + 20. However, for those who are struggling with a thirty-degree heat, winter in the vicinity of Ho Chi Minh City is exactly what is needed. In addition, such weather - the best accompanying background for all sorts of excursions.
To the south of the country, tourists mostly come in the spring months - then it's really hot, and the rainy season in Vietnam has not yet begun. The air warms up to 30-33 degrees, and a calm sea of uncomplicated azure color - 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" with its amazing microclimate resorts located in the mountains of Chuongshon. These low ridges prevent the penetration of monsoons and here it is dry.
Now let's consider what the rainy season in Vietnam is and is it as terrible as the tour operators paint? Contrary to popular belief, rains during this period do not pour on the day-day, without ceasing. Showers can sweep in the daytime. The sensation is such that the heavenly heavens have opened up: thunder, lightning flashing, rain like a bucket. But after an hour all this light show ends, the sun peeps out again, and nature just comes to life. The flowers bloom, the greens become juicy. The rains only a little pacify the heat, which drops from +33 to quite comfortable +27. All this rainbow picture, of course, does not apply to North Vietnam, where the winter (as well as the rainy season) resembles a rainy October in Russia.
