When to have a good rest in Vietnam: a few tips

Vietnam is a country in Southeast Asia, it lies in the tropical latitudes. Therefore, you can go there all year round. However, the question of "when to have a better rest in Vietnam" is not at all idle. And now I will explain why. This country is very stretched from north to south. This means that different parts of Vietnam are located in several climatic zones. Why am I doing this? Just need to know the climate, so that when you come to rest, do not sit in the pouring rain. And downpours here for a long time. In most 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 - the twenty-first degree of northern latitude. It seems that, in comparison with Russia, much more southerly. But there is still winter in this part of the country, although without snowdrifts and snowstorm, like ours. It is expressed in prolonged drizzling rain and rather cool weather - after all, the highest mountain system of our planet - the Himalayas. And from there, as from an open giant refrigerator, it always blows cold. When is it better to have a rest 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 there is simply perfect weather: + 25-30 ° C, it is clear every day, the sea is quiet and transparent - the very time when to have a rest in Vietnam costs! But the winter here is from November to April. The wet rain does not subside, and by March local people forget what the sun looks like. The air temperature in January drops to a miserable + 10 degrees. From the stormy sea carries dank dampness. In general, the high humidity of the air makes the coolness even more palpable. Therefore in the north of the country jackets with the newest technologies of warming are so popular.

Who has not heard of the "Asian Hawaii"? This resort is rightfully proud of Vietnam - Nha Trang. When is it better to have a rest in this part of the country? Here is a very specific climate. In principle, in Nha Trang you can rest year-round, as the mountains in the west close the resort from the winds. However, the sea in December is stormy and this creates problems for divers and those wishing to swim with a mask. Winter months here, no one canceled, but the thermometer's column even in January stubbornly holds at around + 25 °. But the peak of the season in Central Vietnam (the resorts of Quagngay, Hue, Hoi An, Danang) falls on the half of February-August. Since September, short, but stormy downpours can cloud your vacation.

Look at the map and decide when it's best to rest 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 Pangan. Therefore, you need to go in winter. From December to April there is a "dry season" here. You are guaranteed + 30 °, cloudless sky and azure waters of lagoons. From May, rains begin here, which, however, are always short-lived. But a humidity of 80% makes the tropical heat intolerable.

There are corners in this country, where there is almost no rainy season. This is, above all, the island of Fukuok, on the very border with Cambodia. It was here that the advertising for the chocolate bar "Bounty" was shot. When is it better to have a rest in Vietnam on the islands in order to really experience the "paradise pleasure"? All year round! Opponents of any heavenly moisture can recommend the period from November to May. But even since June, rains do not go on for days. A brief downpour only refreshes the equatorial heat and gives the juiciness of tropical vegetation.
