Vietnam is a country in Southeast Asia, it lies in tropical latitudes. Therefore, you can go there all year round. However, the question "when is the best time to relax in Vietnam" is not at all idle. And now I will explain why. This country is very elongated from north to south. This means that different parts of Vietnam are located in several climatic zones. Why am I? You just need to know the features of the climate so that when you come on vacation, you don’t sit in the pouring rain. And the showers are here for a long time. In the vast territory of the country there are only two seasons - “dry” and “wet”. But the whole intrigue is that they come to the north and south not at the same time.
So, look at the map. Hanoi, the capital of the country, is the twenty-first degree of northern latitude. It seems to be, in comparison with Russia, much farther south. But there is still winter in this part of the country, albeit without snowdrifts and snowstorms, like ours. It is expressed in prolonged drizzling rains and pretty cool weather - because the nearby highest mountain system of our planet is the Himalayas. And from there, like from an open giant refrigerator, it constantly blows with frost. When is the best time to relax in Vietnam in its capital Hanoi? Then, when in the Crimea - from May to October.
The same applies to the sea resorts of the region - Namdin, Halong. In summer, just perfect weather reigns here: + 25-30 ° C, it is clear every day, the sea is calm and transparent - that’s the time when it’s worth relaxing in Vietnam! But winter is here from November to April. The drizzling rain does not stop, and by March local residents forget how the sun looks. The air temperature in January drops to a miserable + 10 degrees. From the stormy sea carries dank dampness. In general, high humidity makes the coolness even more noticeable. Therefore, jackets with the latest insulation technologies are so popular in the north of the country.
Who has not heard of "Asian Hawaii"? This resort is rightfully proud of Vietnam - Nha Trang. When is the best time to relax in this part of the country? It has a very specific climate. In principle, in Nha Trang, you can relax all year round, since the mountains in the west close the resort from the winds. However, the sea is stormy in December and this creates problems for divers and those wishing to snorkel. Nobody canceled the winter months here, but the thermometer column stubbornly keeps at + 25 ° even in January. But the peak season in Central Vietnam (the resorts of Quagngai, Hue, Hoi An, Danang) falls on the half of February-August. From September, short but stormy rains can overshadow your vacation.
Look at the map and decide for yourself when it is better to relax in Vietnam in its southern part. The tenth parallel is the same latitude as that of the Thai province of Krabi, the islands of Koh Samui or Phangan. Therefore, you need to go in the winter. From December to April, the "dry season" reigns here. You are guaranteed + 30 °, cloudless sky and azure waters of the lagoons. In May, rains begin here, which, however, are always short-lived. But 80% humidity makes tropical heat unbearable.
There are corners in this country where there is almost no rainy season. This is, first of all, the island of Phu Quoc, on the very border with Cambodia. It was here that they shot commercials for the Bounty chocolate bar. When is the best time to relax in Vietnam on the islands to really experience the "paradise pleasure"? All year round! Opponents of any heavenly moisture can be recommended from November to May. But since June, it has not rained for days. Short-term rainfall only refreshes the equatorial heat and gives juiciness to tropical vegetation.
