Vietnam Weather

In Hanoi, the weather this week is expected to be mostly clear and dry with sunny spells during the day, transitioning to occasional rain at night. As Nguu Lang, Chuc Nu (July in the lunar calendar) draws to a close, the persistent summer rains have started to wane in the southern regions of Vietnam. However, weather fluctuations are expected, as Hanoi may experience bouts of heavy rain interspersed with cool breezes and fresh air, potentially leading to localized flooding. The week ahead promises to start sunny in the city. Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City will see slightly more rain, particularly during the weekend, with heavy showers and potential thunderstorms expected to carry into early next week.
