High temperatures and heavy rainfall are famous for the weather in Vietnam in August. If the northern provinces of the country are already gradually forgetting the vicissitudes of the wet season, in other parts of Vietnam, residents will feel all the "delights" of the rainy season for a long time to come. For example, in the central part, only the first precipitation appears, and in the south, this time is the peak of the wet season. Nevertheless, beach lovers will be able to experience all the delights of the bathing season, which is why August is considered one of the most popular tourist periods of the year. Well, now about everything in order.
North of Vietnam
Despite the fact that a full-fledged dry season sets in in August, the rains here do not stop for a minute. Almost all the time, the sky is covered with gray clouds, and tourists have to look sadly at the street from the windows of their rooms. There is a version that it is on the last days of summer that the greatest amount of precipitation falls (over 400 mm). But when the precipitation stops, and the burning sun heats up the earth, tired from the downpours, the best time comes to plunge into the warm waters of the sea and really relax. After all, the local climate is very conducive to this. The air temperature reaches 32 degrees Celsius, and the water warms up to 28 degrees. In general, if you characterize the weather in the northern regions, you can see that several days of good weather are replaced by typhoons, rains and even small hurricanes. Almost every second day is rainy, which, for example, in Hanoi, is the result of a real flood. The street sewage system simply cannot handle that much water. The situation is similar in Halong Bay, which is often visited by typhoons.

Central regions of the country
But in the middle latitudes, residents are just preparing for the wet season, the beginning of which falls precisely on the last summer month. Therefore, tourists who do not want to waste time sitting in stuffy hotel rooms are advised to choose one of the local resorts. The average air temperature in Da Nang and Hue is 26-28 degrees above zero, and the water warms up to about such temperatures. Therefore, in any case, you will feel very comfortable on the white sand of the coast. Although, it is fair to say that August is not characterized by such attractive climatic conditions as the spring months.
Weather in the south of Vietnam
South Vietnam experiences the peak of the wet season in August. It rains here a little less often, and it passes much faster. They fall, for the most part, in the afternoon. The rest of the day is quite warm, sunny, and the sky is not obscured by gray clouds. The air and water in the local resorts warm up to 28-30 degrees Celsius, creating excellent conditions for a good rest on the seashore. The resorts of Nha Trang, Mui Ne, Phan Thiet and others can boast favorable conditions for recreation. During the month, much less precipitation falls here than in previous periods, and the air temperature often exceeds 30-32 degrees above zero.
But travelers who happened to be in Ho Chi Minh City at this time will not have to spend a lot of time on the beach. A rather complex climatic picture is observed here: the rains come suddenly, the air humidity is one of the highest in the region, and the number of sunshine hours is almost two times lower than in Moscow, for example!
You should not choose Phu Quoc Island as a place of your tourist pilgrimage. In August, there are practically no tourists here, and it rains almost non-stop. No more than 9-12 days can be called sunny.
