Seasons in Vietnam when to go

Before going on vacation to Vietnam, you should decide at what time it is best to do it. Despite the fact that the territory of Vietnam is significantly inferior to the territory of Russia, the weather conditions here during the same season can be very different in different places. Moreover, you will be surprised, but, despite the fact that it is believed that it is warm all year round, in some resorts there is even snow. We are talking, in particular, about the popular high-altitude resort of Sapa, on the slopes of the mountains in the vicinity of which snow falls in the winter months. Therefore, regarding Vietnam, it is more correct to raise the question, "When and Where Is it better to go on vacation in Vietnam". Well, another misconception about the local weather is the rainy season. Just like the weather in general, the rainy season here occurs at different times in different places, so statements like "the rainy season in Vietnam takes place in such and such months" oversimplify the situation and do not correspond to reality.

Weather differences in the territory of Vietnam at the same time are a consequence of the large extent of this country from North to South. If you look at the map, you can see how the territory of the state stretches along the coast of the South China Sea in a thin strip for more than 1.5 thousand kilometers. This is even more than, for example, the distance from Moscow to Sochi. The climate is so different that while one half of the country is more than favorable for a resort holiday, the second weather is either not the best or completely unacceptable.

Year-round resorts in Vietnam

The only truly year-round resorts in Vietnam that you can come to for a beach holiday are the southern resorts of Phan Thiet (Mui Ne), Vung Tau, Phu Quoc Island and Con Dao island. But in these resorts, low and high seasons stand out. Fortunately, the low season, which is formed by the rainy season, is not so terrible in these parts: the rains are usually short and fall in the afternoon, the sun and Heat are almost always enough. True, the inconvenience can be created by the wind, which forms large waves on the sea, so that it is sometimes impossible to swim. But the advantage in the low season here is the reduction in prices for tourist services.

Where not to relax in the winter in Vietnam

As for the resorts in northern or central Vietnam (and these are the popular resorts of Nha Trang, Hoi An, Da Nang, Halong Bay), it is better not to consider them as places for a beach holiday in the winter months. At this time there is a rather hard rainy season and Typhoon period, and in the north in Halong Bay and Cat Ba Island in winter it is generally very cold.
