Vietnam - Weather in May

North Vietnam

Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa, Ha Giang, Mu Cang Chai, Ninh Binh & Mai Chau

Temperatures are rising in the north along with the chance of rain although dry days are still prevalent (avg temp: 29 °C). In the mountains conditions remain good with May being a good month to explore Mu Cang Chai and the Sapa region, whilst Ha Giang to the east starts to see more rain.

Central Vietnam

Hoi An, Danang, Hue, Nha Trang, Quy Nhon, Dalat & Central Highlands

What’s to say – it’s sunshine and blue skies all the way for the centre of Vietnam with the beaches of Hoi An, Danang and Nha Trang at their best (avg temp: 30 °C). Further north Hue is also is also enjoying good weather. To the west up in the Central Highlands and in Dalat rainfall is on the increase although far from its peak and you can still expect plenty of dry spells.

South Vietnam

Ho Chi Minh City, Phan Thiet & Mui Ne, Mekong Delta, Ho Tram & Long Hai, Con Dao & Phu Quoc

Throughout the month the likelihood of rain will increase, although this helps to bring down the high temperatures of the past few months and you can still expect plenty of dry spells (avg temp: 28°C). Rain tends to fall in the afternoon often in short, heavy downpours. Despite the odd downpour, favourable diving conditions continue around the island of Con Dao in May.
