The tropical south
The distinction in
precipitation between the 2 seasons (dry from November
to Could and rainy from June to October) is more obvious
than elsewhere in Vietnam. Nevertheless, the rain within
the wet season is often limited to heavy showers at the
finish of the afternoon, and the weather is warm all
through the year. Annual rainfall in the south is
approximately sixty five inches and temperatures stay
comparatively constant -between 30°C and 35°C in the
course of the day and from 20°C to 25°C at night - all
through the year.
Temperatures are
remarkably constant across all the area. Nonetheless,
rainfall declines towards the south - Vung Tau’s weather
is considerably drier than additional inland.

There isn't an apparent
time to visit the southern part of Vietnam aside from
the two months when the bulk of the rain falls, and even
then there is nonetheless plenty of sunshine between the
downpours. When you want to avoid excessive warmth, the
early part of the rainy season can be a better choice.
The air is cooler and it isn't as dusty as in the dry
season.
If you want to go to the
Mekong Delta, you might want to keep away from the
annual flooding attributable to the large volume of
water from heavy rainfall within the mountains of
Cambodia, Thailand and Laos that happens throughout
August and September. Alternatively, the floods are a
possibility to witness the ways during which the local
folks have modified their dwellings and farming patterns
to deal with the three months when a lot of the delta
could be as a lot as three metre beneath water.
Excessive weather
Flooding on the Mekong
Delta is a phenomenon that affects local people. There’s
clearly a heightened danger of drowning during the
floods, with children notably at risk. Nonetheless,
visitors travel alongside raised roads and by boat, so
there is no danger for them.
The topography and
prevailing winds of Vietnam’s central and southern areas
signifies that the latter avoids most of the tropical
storms that cause problems alongside the central
coastline.
