Weather in Vietnam by Month
Even though we only stayed in Vietnam for 2 weeks, I know it’s hard to find the best time to visit Vietnam with so many information out there, so I’ve compiled a list of weather per month to make it easier for you to find the best time to visit Vietnam!
Vietnam is a long country, and has 3 different regions that experience different climates, so a one-weather-fits-all doesn’t really apply.
Note: I’ve tried to make this as accurate as possible, but weather can be unpredictable!

| January | Low temperatures, light rainfall | Dry and moderate, some coastal rains | ✅ Dry season, warm temperatures |
