Hanoi:
The weather in Hanoi keeps being fairly cold and dry for the last three days of the week. The temperature reaches the highest level at 15 - 20 degree Celsius on Friday, before declining gradually to the lowest level 13 – 19 degree Celsius on Sunday. However, occasional sunshine somehow warms up the atmosphere and brings about beautiful sunny winter days. Coat, scarf and moisture cream are good companions these days.

Da Nang:
Different from Hanoi, Da Nang is expecting three continuous rainy days. This kind of weather may prevent tourists from exciting beach sports on Non Nuoc, one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. The high humidity at 94% may bring some uncomfortableness to travelers, especially who come from dry regions like southwestern United States, northern Mexico, North and South Africa, and central part of Australia. However, temperature fluctuating between 19 and 23 degree Celsius is considered pleasant. Raincoat and umbrella should be taken along always these days.

Ho Chi Minh City:
While the weather in Friday is rather unpleasant with heavy rain, lightening and thunder; the weekend is anticipated to experience nice weather with warm sunshine and cool wind. However, high humidity at 100% is supposed to make the temperature (22-33 degree Celsius) become higher than it actually is, and the seemingly ideal weather become unpleasant a little bit. Tourists are advised to bring raincoat, umbrella on Friday and able to freely enjoy nice weather at the weekend. A trip to Thu Duc Stork Garden may be a good choice for weekend holiday.
