Vietnam Weather in June: Hot & Rainy? Best Places to Go

Vietnam Weather in June: Overview

In June, most of Vietnam begins its hot and humid rainy season, with about 20 rainy days for the month. The temperature varies between 26°C and 35°C (79 and 95 °F) on average.

Thanks to Vietnam's long and S-shaped geography, Central Vietnam still enjoys a high possibility of sunny days in June and is good for a beach vacation.

Traveling to Northern Vietnam is possible, as the rain usually comes in short bursts.

But in Southern Vietnam, outdoor activities are generally not suitable in the seemingly continuous rain.

Vietnam's Regional Weather

From the table, you can see that the North (Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa) and South (Ho Chi Minh City, Phu Quoc, Da Lat) of Vietnam share a common pattern: the rainy season's moderate-to-high rainfalls.

By contrast, Central Vietnam (Danang, Hoi An, Nha Trang) enjoys low rainfall, great sunny days, and blue skies. Thus, if you are travelling if Northern and Southern Vietnam, always prepare a plan B in case you experience persistent rains.

What's more, you can expect plenty of hot weather as most cities' daily temperatures are between 24°C (75°F) and 32°C (90°F). But the mountain areas (Sapa, Danang, Da Lat) are the cool places to go to escape from the summer heat.

Considering the rainfall and temperature, northern and central Vietnam are highly recommended. If you visit southern part, you're suggested to make your schedule flexible, check the weather before daily departure, and select indoor activities when it's raining heavily.
