Don't trust the weather charts!
The complexity of Vietnam’s climate means that average temperature and rainfall tables often bear little relation to the actual weather, and travellers can find their holiday ruined by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. On the other hand, it means that the weather is seldom universally bad. With careful planning and our local knowledge, we can generally arrange an itinerary that will be accompanied by reasonable weather at more or less any time of the year.

Your holiday weather
The following table is a rough guide to the best and worst months for visiting various places in Vietnam, but whether it applies to your particular visit depends upon what you intend to do. For example, if you want to go diving at Nha Trang, October, November and most of December are useless because the rain turns the sea into a murky soup at that time. However, if you want to visit the Cham monuments, it’s only a matter of dodging the showers.

Hue is wet for much of the year but it’s no more than an inconvenience, even during the rainy season.
