Vietnam weather
Hanoi
The capital city is currently experiencing pleasant early spring weather with cool temperatures. This week, light rain is expected from Thursday through Saturday, particularly in the early mornings and late afternoons. Humidity levels may rise to around 85%, which could feel a bit uncomfortable for visitors used to drier climates. The temperatures will hover around 19 degrees Celsius over the next few days, creating a refreshingly cool atmosphere. By Sunday, warm sunshine is anticipated to return, providing a great opportunity to explore the city without the need for umbrellas or raincoats.

Da Nang
This weekend may not be ideal for outdoor activities in Da Nang due to anticipated rain. A significant weather front is expected to bring overcast skies, thunderstorms, and heavy rain on Friday. Fortunately, conditions will improve over the weekend, with light clouds and intermittent rain observed Saturday and Sunday. These light showers should not hinder explorations of popular attractions, including Son Tra Peninsular and the Marble Mountains. The temperatures will remain mild, ranging from 23 to 30 degrees Celsius, making it still a pleasant visit. Remember to carry an umbrella just in case of unexpected showers!

Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City is enjoying vibrant sunshine and refreshing breezes at this time. However, the combination of relatively high temperatures—ranging from 26 to 38 degrees Celsius—and moderate humidity levels of about 54% can create uncomfortable conditions in the afternoons. It is advisable for travelers to stay indoors during the hottest hours of the day (typically from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM) to avoid heat-related illnesses. Sunscreen and protective clothing are also recommended to safeguard against the intense sunlight.
