Rain can be torrential in October and November when there\u2019s a chance of storms and localised flooding.<\/p>\n<p>Further south, Nha Trang, Vietnam\u2019s principal beach town sees 300 days of sunshine and a light, short rainy season lasting from September to December. Even in high summer, Dalat in the central highlands feels fresh relative to the sweltering coast and it\u2019s dry November to March.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read next:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/inspiration\/six-alternative-places-to-visit-in-vietnam\/\">6 alternative places to visit in Vietnam<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div id=\"wak-acf-block-445592\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n                \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">Best time to visit Southern Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and the Mekong Delta)<\/h3>\r\n                    \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2418415747-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2418415747-700x470.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2418415747-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2418415747-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2418415747-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2418415747-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2418415747-350x250.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2418415747-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2418415747-700x470.jpg 2x\" class=\"attachment-84859\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>   \r\n        \r\n        <span class=\"wak-caption wak-image-caption-text\">Sa Dec Flower Village is found in the heart of the Mekong Delta (Shutterstock)<\/span>    <\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-sidebar-content\" data-ad=\"in_content_2\"><div id=\"wak-acf-block-168154\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-content-layout-default wak-acf-block-advert wak-ad-in_content_2\" data-placement-id=\"63377\" data-advert-visible=\"1\">\n    \n    <div class=\"wak-advert-container\">\n        \n            <div id=\"div-gpt-ad-63377\">\n                <script>\n                    googletag.cmd.push(() => { \n                        googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-63377'); \n                    });\n                <\/script>\n            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"wak-acf-block-983574\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-copy-content wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p><strong>Best time to visit:<\/strong> December to April<\/p>\n<p>Temperatures in tropical Southern Vietnam, which includes Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta, vary little across the year, but there is a distinct dry season and wet season.
