Vietnam's June weather is famous for its high ambient temperatures and heavy rainfall. The only exceptions to the general rule are the country's central provinces, where the dry season is at its peak.
It is not worth going to this Asian country in June if you want to relax on the seashore. But for those who are eager to visit this Asian land for cheap tickets and, at the same time, thoroughly explore the local attractions, the trip will be very interesting.
Weather in the north of Vietnam
The provinces in the north are experiencing the second stage of the rainy season, which is characterized by sweltering and hot weather. Abundant rains give way to hot hours, during which rather unpleasant conditions are created for rest, walks and the manifestation of active tourism. The average rainfall during this period easily exceeds 250 mm. Although this is not the limit, tourists who ventured to go to the local provinces risk spending their entire vacation at the window of the hotel room in which they are staying. The number of hours of sunshine is also decreasing.
But such a vacation has its own charms. In particular, it is in June that the best conditions for visiting Sapa are created, since these days there are practically no fogs here. And the easiest way to hide from the unbearable heat is on the sea coast, where the breezes significantly soften the stifling climate.
In Hanoi, a third of all days of the month are rainy. The minimum rainfall recorded in the first summer month is 180 mm, and typhoons are gradually becoming a necessary component of the local weather.
The situation is similar in Halong, in the vicinity of which almost twice as much precipitation falls. Although the water near the coast continues to maintain a comfortable temperature. The rains in the local area are short and of medium intensity. And sometimes the weather is ready to please tourists with absolutely dry and sunny days.
Central regions
In the middle parts of the country, the first summer month is the end of the dry season. As a rule, the whole territory is warm, dry and calm. It rains very rarely here, about 2-3 times less often than in the north and south of the country. A beach holiday can only be disturbed by a light breeze. Thermometer columns record the maximum ambient temperature, and the water temperature near the coast reaches 28-29 degrees above zero.
Weather in the southern regions of Vietnam
But in the south of the country during this period, the maximum amount of precipitation falls. Only September can compete in the amount of rain in June. Just imagine, for thirty days of summer in the vicinity of Ho Chi Minh City, Mui Ne and other resorts, up to 330 mm of precipitation falls! The rains here are short-term, but heavy and fall in the afternoon. Although sometimes there are absolutely dry days, which delight tourists with high temperatures of water and air.
Which resort to choose in June
The weather in the resort Nha Trang, which is geographically located closer to the center of the country, is characterized by a mixed dry and humid climate. The air here easily warms up to 33 degrees Celsius, and sea water reaches 29 degrees.
Ho Chi Minh City can claim the title of the wettest resort in June, on the territory of which up to 370 mm of precipitation falls! At the same time, the ambient temperature remains high (26-32 degrees). But on Phu Quoc Island you can have a good rest. Here, although it often rains, it is short-lived, and the water near the coast warms up to 30 degrees Celsius.
