Throughout the year you’re likely to experience a mix of sunshine and rain in Vietnam, wherever you are. Although the weather is typically warm and humid, there are seasonal differences across the country. Vietnam’s peak season is from July to August, which is when accommodation on the coast becomes more expensive. Except in the north, which is cooler, this is when the country is hot and humid, with monsoon rains. Low season is from April to June and September to November, when there can be typhoons along the central and northern coasts.
