Hoi An, Hue, Danang…
From September to February, influenced by the northeast monsoon, this area often has strong wind, large sea swells and rain, which make it a difficult time for travelers. Normally summer is hot and dry.

If you go to Vietnam in January, you’d better take your sweater or coat, especially in the north or the highlands area. November to April, except January, the average temperature will be from 15 °C (59 °F) to 25 °C (77 °F), so long sleeve shirts and jeans are essential.
During the raining season, the temperature will be high, but it is also the peak period for dengue fever, so the cotton shirts and pants are necessary to prevent your mosquito bites. Moreover, comfortable shoes, a sunbonnet and sunglasses should be also on your list.
