Vietnam has a complex climate due to its latitudinal extension of over 1,600 kilometers from the north to the south of the Indochina Peninsula. This geographical disposition facilitates a climatic condition that is sub-tropical in the north and tropical in the extreme south thus leading to regional specialization. The country experiences two main seasons, a short rainy season and a long dry season.
Northern Vietnam especially cities such as Hanoi and Sapa, are known for their subtropical climate. Northern Vietnam experiences four distinct seasons - spring, summer, autumn, and winter. There is spring between February and April with cooler and humid months with some showers to give a misty scene. This season is suitable for Vietnam tourism for Indian who wish to tour during cool climates and when flowers are blooming. Summer starts in May and ends in August with a hot and humid climate, with the occurrence of rainfall throughout the day. Vietnam temperaturein May is around 25 °C. This period also overlaps with the monsoon season which is experiencing a steep and short burst of rainfall. From September to November, known as the autumn season, has better temperatures and fewer rainfalls.

Middle of Vietnam, including the cities of Hue, Da Nang, and Hoi An, has a tropical monsoon climate in its area. Meteorological conditions here are characterized by the fact that they are overlain by the Truong Son mountain range, which shields them from northern winds. Thus, the region has a longer period of drought that begins in February and ends in August. Vietnam temperature in June is around 25 to 35 °C.

Southern Vietnam, including Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta, enjoys a tropical climate with only two seasons - wet and dry. This period from November to April is known as the dry season when there is an abundance of sunshine and warm temperatures. These temperatures are between 25 to 35 °C ideal as one traverses through vibrant cities, rice terrains, and waterways of the Mekong Delta.
