Vietnam in August: reviews and features

If you look at the map of the country, it's easy to see that the state has a long stretch from north to south. A relatively narrow strip is Vietnam along the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, in a small country, there are three climatic zones. This makes it possible to have a rest in Vietnam all year round. When winter in the north, in the Hanoi region, drizzling rain and quite cool, on the island of Fukuok, which lies on the same latitudes with the resorts of Thailand, it is a real hot summer. But from June to August, the tropics of the south of Vietnam cover the rainy season. But in the north of the country the sky is not cloudless. So is it worth to go to Vietnam in August? Should I go to the fabulous Halong Bay (in the north of the country) in general? Let's consider this issue in more detail. Vietnam on climatic conditions can be divided into northern, central and southern parts. What is the climate in all of them at the end of summer?

North

On the question of whether to go to Vietnam in August, the responses say that everything depends on the chosen vacation spot. Summer is also summer in Southeast Asia, and, consequently, air and water temperatures are quite high. The climatic zones of Vietnam differ in August only by the amount of precipitation. What can you say about the north of the country in the last month of summer? There the wet season is almost over. Clear days are growing. Rains can still happen, but they pass mainly in the evening and at night. Meteorologists, observing the weather in the most beautiful bay on the ground Halong, say: for the whole of August the sky is covered with clouds for eleven days. The clouds can not detract from the action of the southern sun. It warms the air up to thirty-two degrees in the daytime, and at night the temperature does not fall below + 24 C.

Beach season in the north of Vietnam

Although rains (and even typhoons) are still possible, the sea has completely calmed down. It is very warm and not clouded at all. So it's quite comfortable to swim and sunbathe at the resorts of northern Vietnam. At the same time brave souls who decided to come to this "low" season, are entitled to a bonus: still low prices for tours and half-empty beaches. But as for the excursions to Hanoi, the weather in the capital can make its own adjustments to your plans. Reviews argue that the city is watered with heavy downpours, which is why it is simply flooded. Sapa is drier, but a little cooler. During the day, the thermometer does not rise above +27, but at night it does not drop below twenty-two degrees. So, what can you say about North Vietnam in August - is it worth it to go? The reviews say it's fine. In this case, the best rest will be at the end of the month, than at its beginning. Closer to September, rains completely stop.

Central Vietnam

Gradually, very gradually, downpours move to the south. And the rainy season comes to Central Vietnam in August. Should I go then to the popular resorts of Hoi An and Danang? Reviews say that the rainy season in August is just beginning. In the first half of the month on the hot ground can not fall a drop. At the end of August in the resorts of Central Vietnam are night showers. But in the morning the sun immediately dries the sand of the beaches, and only the refreshed jungle indicates the past rain. In general, the meteorological service counted only seven days with precipitation for the whole month. And their rate is not so high: only one hundred and ten millimeters. As for the reviews of tourists, they show: rains, although they pass in the form of strong downpours, from which no umbrella saves, rest does not interfere.

Beach season in Central Vietnam

The last month of summer in this part of the country is comfortable in all respects. The sea is calm and not stormy. Divers note the high water transparency. All other holidaymakers are singing ode to the temperature. "Not the sea, but the bath!" - so you can summarize the reviews about the rest in Vietnam. Where it is better to stop? On this issue, tourists are unanimous in opinions. Of course, in the resorts in the center of the country. In Hoi An, Danang and the cultural capital of Vietnam, Hue, the sea warms up to twenty-nine and a half degrees! At the same time the air temperature is within thirty-two. With relatively low humidity, such indicators are ideal for beach holidays. Prices for tours to Vietnam in the last month of summer are low. If there is such a possibility, choose the first half of August for trips to the resorts of the center of the country.

South

Nha Trang and Mui Ne are extremely popular resorts. And at the end of the summer you can still catch a dry season. The amount of precipitation, according to meteorologists, does not exceed fifty two millimeters. The air temperature reaches thirty-three degrees in the daytime, cooling at night to +24 C. The sea is very pleasing to tourists - calm, transparent, heated to plus twenty-nine. So it makes sense to go on vacation to Southeast Vietnam in August. Whether to go to the famous island of Fukuok is a completely different matter. It lies on the same latitude with Thai resorts, that is, in the subequatorial climatic zone. Here in the last month of summer the rainy season is in full swing. Hot, stuffy, high humidity, restless, cloudy sea. But tourists are bought at low prices, so you will not be alone.

Reviews of tourists about holiday in Vietnam in August

Do not tragically perceive the words "low season" or "time of showers". Tourists say that in Vietnam this time is not so bad. Downpours go either at night or after dinner. Morning, wherever you rest, sunny and clear. And showers do not cool the sea, which is stably very warm. Rain only brings light freshness, and tropical flowers start to smell even more. If you want to fully insure against bad weather, choose the resorts of Central Vietnam - Muine or Fangrang. In this country in August there is an important holiday - Day of Wandering Souls. He is "tied" to the lunar calendar, so he has no exact date. It can be compared with the Christian Day of All Saints. On this holiday honor the deceased relatives, give them clothes and food, burn incense.
