Hoi An’s climate is a mixture of the climate of the South and the North, with distinct rainy and dry seasons. Each season of the ancient town has its own beauty.
The first three months of the year are the most ideal time to visit Hoi An when the sun is not too harsh, the weather is cool, and there is occasional light rain.
From April to June is the harsh period of the dry season, but the weather in Hoi An is quite pleasant, because it is located south of the Truong Son mountain range. This is also the peak tourist season.
July is still the dry season. August and September are the transitional seasons. The weather is still mildly sunny, with sporadic rain and chilly nights.
The last three months of the year are the rainy season in Hoi An, with rarely sunny weather, heavy rain, and occasional flooding. Tourists from the South coming to Hoi An in the cold season should prepare suitable clothing to avoid affecting their health.
