weather in June/July

Hi

Can anyone advise which part of Vietnam is better to visit during this period.

We are after sightseeing and the beach, and so far are keen on HCMC and Hoi An, due to TA reports.

Will the weather be okay for southern Vietnam or should we be looking to go north to Hanoi?

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

It will be hot and humid during that time of the year and also with rain but this time is not with lots of typhoons so if you have time, extend your visit to Hanoi and Halong Bay.

I was there the beginning of July 2008. I think it is a fine time to travel and brushed off what people said about the rainy season. We brought quick drying clothes and water proof shoes and hoped for the best.

In the North, there was some misting and light rain on and off but it kept us cool. In central Vietnam (Hue and Hoi An), it was extremely hot. We had to modify our itinerary once there so that we were not running around outside mid day. Mornings were fine and it was also fine after 3 or 4. Mid day you will want to be in the pool, in the ocean, eating a long lunch, etc. We only spent 2 days in the South. We had a very heavy rain one day for a couple of hours and the rest of the time was fine.

Enjoy!
