  • The northern region of Vietnam experiences four distinct seasons, making it an appealing destination for visitors seeking diverse weather conditions. Here's a breakdown of each season:
  • Spring (February to April): Spring brings a refreshing change to the region, with mild temperatures ranging from 15°C to 24°C. This time of year offers pleasant weather, blooming flowers, and clear skies. However it can drizzle for days, making Hanoi, Halong Bay and other cities and provinces quite gloomy.

  • Summer (May to August): Summer in the north is characterized by hot and humid weather, with temperatures ranging from 28°C to 38°C. While it's considered the hottest season of the year, this is also the best time to visit mountainous regions like Sapa, where temperatures are more moderate and the landscape is at its greenest.
  • Autumn (September to November): Best time of the year according to many northerners. Autumn brings relief from the summer heat, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C. This season is famous for its golden hues as the countryside is adorned with rice terraces ready for harvest. Exploring Hanoi and trekking in the mountainous regions during this time is a delightful experience.

  • Winter (December to January): Winter in the north can be chilly, with temperatures ranging from 10°C to 20°C. While it's not the time for beach lovers, it is perfect for exploring the cities and the authentic north Vietnam cuisine. Enjoying a hot bowl of "Pho" or a cup of the famous egg coffee in the cold weather of Hanoi can bring the experience you can't find nowhere else. Don't forget to contemplate the festive atmosphere during the Tet celebrations.
