Vietnam Weather
Hanoi
After a Friday with drizzling rain and heavy wind, Hanoi will enjoy a beautiful weekend with warm sunshine and moderate temperature around 17 Degree Celsius. A weekend picnic to Hanoi’s mountainous suburban areas like Ba Vi, or a sight-seeing tour around Hanoi Old Quarter by bike is wonderful treat for tourists in these early summer days.

Da Nang
In contrast to Hanoi, the coastal city of Da Nang is anticipated to experience a rainy weekend after a sunny Friday. The weather is rather dry with humidity of 62%, and tourists are advised to use moisture cream for healthy skin. One should make use of time for out door activities and have fun on the beach on Friday. Otherwise, Sunday with little rain can be considered a good alternative if you can not spend much time out door on Friday due to any reason.

Remember to use sun cream when going out in sunny weather, especially in sunniest time of the day (usually 11:00am to 2:00pm).
