Worth a second thought this month

  • Ninh Binh
    • Worth a second thought: Rainy season — heavy rain can raise the water, and Trang An sometimes has to close
  • Hue
    • Worth a second thought: Flood season — prolonged heavy rain and flooding; October–November is also storm season
  • Da Nang
    • Worth a second thought: Storm season — typhoons, heavy rain and flooding cluster at year's end
  • Nha Trang · Khanh Hoa
    • Worth a second thought: Late-year rainy season — frequent rain, sometimes with cold air
  • Vung Tau · Ba Ria
    • Worth a second thought: Peak storm season for southern Vietnam — seas may turn rough; check storm bulletins before going out
  • Con Dao
    • Worth a second thought: North-east wind season — big waves in Côn Sơn bay and ferries may be suspended; the west and south-west coasts of the main island stay calmer

Flower and harvest seasons shift from year to year with the weather. Close to your trip, check the forecast and ask locally.
