Vietnam is an ideal choice for your summer getaway
May to August is considered “the official” summer time in Vietnam, although the hot weather can start from late April and last until October in recent years. The temperature often ranges from 25 to 35 degrees Celsius, and even reaches over 40 degrees on the hottest days.
However, due to its long shape, summer in Vietnam differs among regions. The northern and central parts of Vietnam often experience a hotter climate than the southern part. While central Vietnam is drier, northern Vietnam features high humidity and frequent showers. On the other hand, summer in the southern region is generally more pleasant, which is sunny during the day and cooler in the evening.
