In the summer, very few tourists come to Vietnam; heavy tropical rains fall almost throughout the country. A real danger to life is typhoons, which often occur in the central part of the country, a little less often in the north and south.

One of the main horror stories of tour operators regarding Vietnam is the rainy season. Like, Vietnam is turning into one big Venice, everyone is swimming around on bikes, typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes and alien invasion.

In short, it is impossible to rest in this very season. Others, on the contrary, promise a fine rain, which only refreshes and generally contributes to the formation of lightness throughout the body, improves vision and male power. As always, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Therefore, let's see what is remarkable about the rainy season in Vietnam, when it comes and what a tourist can expect from him. You can read more about the weather in this beautiful country in general here.

When the rainy season comes

Let's start with when the rainy season in Vietnam starts. The fact is that the climate of Vietnam is far from uniform. In the same season, the weather in the northern and southern parts of the country can be drastically different. Since our site is mainly devoted to recreation in Nha Trang, let's look at when the rainy season comes to this particular city. If we consider the rainy season in Vietnam by months, then in Nha Trang it actually begins in November. Of course, it also rains in October. But it is November, December and January that can be called the rainiest months of the year. During this period, you can expect up to 15 rainy days per month. In February, the sun begins to come out more and more often, the waves slowly calm down and the sea becomes quite suitable for swimming: it is cleaner and calmer. Even the central city beach, which is noticeably washed out by the waves during the rainy season. If you want to come during this period and still soak up the warm sand, we recommend that you go to Mui Ne or Phu Quoc for a day or two. After all, when it rains in Nha Trang, the sun shines at these neighboring resorts.

Local rains are noticeably different from those in our latitudes.

Features of the rainy season in Nha Trang

Surprisingly, the rainy season in Vietnam is different. In particular, in Nha Trang it is noticeably different from the same Saigon or Hanoi. Firstly, here it is not as severe as in most other regions. In Nha Trang, you will not find people floating around the streets, flooded houses and cars everywhere. Of course, there are a couple of places in the city that are in the lowlands. However, storm systems work perfectly and the water does not stagnate for a long time. On most main streets, you will not find puddles even during a heavy downpour. Secondly, it doesn't rain for a week in a row. It can be a couple of rainy hours when it pours like a bucket. Just unexpectedly, a wall of water comes into the city and just as suddenly leaves. It happens to be insignificant it's raining day or two with short breaks. But in general, when the rainy season begins in Vietnam, you will not have to constantly get wet and there will be respite.

Something similar can only be seen in the Big C supermarket area.

Another feature of the rainy season is the wind and waves. During this period, quite impressive waves rise in the Nha Trang sea. On a city beach, for example, they can be three meters high. Of course, such a phenomenon can not be observed every day. But on average, the waves are such that swimming with small children is not worth it. Although, you can always go to Paragon Beach. Just 10 minutes from the city center and you are on a small private beach with a concrete breakwater. Here, in any season, calm water, so it is very comfortable with children. Therefore, there is essentially no such thing as a holiday season in Vietnam. Here, rather, several seasons for different type recreation. The rainy season, for example, is not suitable for the beach, but is great for outdoor activities.

The rainy season in Nha Trang will appeal to surfers

Typhoons

A few words should be said about this particular climate of Vietnam. Yes, indeed, sometimes typhoons come to Vietnam from the Philippines. However, most of them are rather weak and go more often to the north of Vietnam. The typhoon, if it gets to Nha Trang, is “weakened”. At the same time, any more or less significant becomes public knowledge in advance. So that the only way to suffer somehow from it is to walk along the street at the moment when a storm warning was announced throughout the city and everyone is sitting at home / hotels. The last significant typhoon was in Nha Trang in 2017. And this is one of two rather serious cataclysms in the last 100 years. So there is nothing to be afraid of. Nonetheless, best season for a holiday in Vietnam, to exclude the possibility of a typhoon - this is spring and summer.

This is what the streets of Nha Trang looked like after one of the most destructive typhoons of the last 100 years. As you can see - nothing terrible, the city was ready

Getting ready for the rainy season

Finally, we will give you a couple of tips on how to have a good time in Nha Trang during the rainy season. The first thing you should understand is that Vietnam is very diverse. It's not just the beach, rum and seafood. This country has magnificent nature, which you can admire during the rainy season. After all, instead of sitting in your room and watching the rain, you can go on one of the hundreds of excursions. Believe me, even in the rain you can visit the mass cool places near Nha Trang. It is not necessary to wait until the season in Vietnam reaches its peak and millions of tourists from all over the world travel. After all, it is much more pleasant to visit certain sights when there are not thousands of noisy Chinese people there. Do you agree?

If you still want to swim, you can always go to one of the spa complexes. For example, in the same I-RESORT for only 120,000 VND (price of August 2018) you get a full day pass to hot and cold mineral pools, waterfalls and just a great place to relax. Even in the rain it's pretty good.

In a place like this you will have a great time even in the rain

Separately, a few words should be said about driving a bike. The rainy season in Vietnam is far from best time to get behind the wheel of a two-wheeled vehicle. Traffic here is quite difficult for an unaccustomed driver, and in the rain it all only becomes more complicated. But, if this does not scare you, stock up on 2 things: a thick raincoat and transparent glasses (or a helmet with a visor). Otherwise, riding a bike in the rain in Nha Trang will be inconvenient and even dangerous. Speaking of raincoats. In Nha Trang, thin transparent raincoats are sold on every corner. They cost an average of 10,000 dong. But we do not recommend buying them. The fact is that this is a one-time nonsense that is constantly torn and does not really cover from the rain. We recommend buying a long, dense raincoat for 70-90 thousand VND. First, it perfectly protects from a rain. Secondly, it is not blown (and this is very important, believe me). Thirdly, such a raincoat will last you the whole rest, and then you will also take it home with you.

As you can see, se rain zones in Nha Trang are not so terrible. Yes, he is not very suitable for beach holiday, but you can still have a great time: excursions, Beautiful places, SPA complexes - this and much more is waiting for you.
