In the south of Vietnam (from Ho Chi Minh Da Phan Thiet), two seasons can be distinguished - wet and dry. The wet season traditionally lasts from May to November, the rainiest months are June-August.

The dry season usually starts in December and ends in April.

"Velvet" months in the south of Vietnam - January and February: soft sun, refreshing sea water. From late February to May there are hot days without rain.

The best time to visit Vietnam is when the rains are least likely: the period from April-May to October-November.
