1. Vietnam weather in June

The climate in Vietnam differs between the north, central and south, and the northern and central mountainous regions could also be considered to have their distinctive climate.

The month of June corresponds to the start of the hot and humid season which characterizes Vietnam's tropical monsoon climate. Throughout the country, it is sunny and temperatures are quite high, from 34 to 38 degrees. 

  • The weather in the North (Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa, Ha Giang, Mu Cang Chai, Ninh Binh and Mai Chau): In June, the northern part is in the middle of summer, so the temperature is high (on average 33 degrees). Sometimes there is rain and storms. In the northern mountainous regions such as Sapa, Ha Giang, Mu Cang Chai and Mai Chau, the landscapes are fascinating with lush green rice terraces as far as the eye can see. Although it is a little hot, June is still a great time to go hiking in this region.

  • Central weather (Phong Nha, Hoi An, Danang, Hue): In June, the central part attracts a large number of tourists thanks to beautifully dry and sunny weather with blue skies. It is hot with the average temperature around 32 degrees. During this period, the picturesque central beaches (Hoian, Danang and Nha Trang) are well recommended to visit. In the west, in the central highlands and Dalat, although precipitation continues to increase, travel is possible.
  • The weather in the South (Mui Ne, Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta, Con Dao, Phu Quoc): Throughout the month of June, the weather in the south is characterized by a strong presence of rain with daily showers, especially in the afternoon (no typhoons). However, although rainfall is slightly higher than in previous months, you can still expect many hours of sunshine in a day. The average temperature is around 30°C.

2. Top 4 reasons to travel to Vietnam in June

If you are wondering whether to travel to Vietnam in June, here are 4 good reasons to do so:

1. If you are looking to travel on a budget, June is the ideal time to discover Vietnam. Indeed, it is the low season for tourism in the country, which translates into more affordable prices for plane tickets and other travel expenses.

2. If you are looking to travel in peace, away from crowds and noise, June could be ideal for you. This is a slow period for tourism in Vietnam, with significantly reduced influx of foreign tourists. You can explore the country at your own pace and enjoy the peaceful ambiance without being surrounded by many tourists.

  • Mekong Delta, discover the floating market 

The Mekong Delta region lies on half-terrestrial, half-aquatic terrain, which makes the land fertile and favors agriculture. The rice fields there are particularly very prolific: half of the quantity of rice harvested in the country is produced there. Thus, thanks to this fantastic production, Vietnam is the 2nd largest rice exporter in the world.

The charm of the Mekong Delta lies in its varied and exotic exotic landscapes, between rice fields, mangrove forests, and coconut groves. Its lands, both aquatic and agricultural, are conducive to the fruit trees that thrive there. We thus find a good production of bananas and mangoes, as well as stranger fruits such as exotic dragon fruits or even durians with a… disconcerting smell!
