Planning a trip to Vietnam in July? Many travelers worry about the rainy season, but don’t let the weather stop you! July can actually be a fantastic time to explore Vietnam — as long as you know where to go. In this blog, we’ll break down the weather by region, highlight the best destinations in July, and give you expert travel tips and itinerary ideas for an unforgettable adventure.
 

WEATHER IN JULY – WHAT TO EXPECT


Vietnam has three different climate zones — North, Central, and South — and July affects each one differently.
 

1. Northern Vietnam (Hanoi,Ninh Binh, Ha Giang, Sapa, Ha Long Bay)


 • July is part of the wet season.
 • Expect short, heavy showers, mostly in the afternoon or evening.
 • Between rains, you’ll still get sunshine and stunning green landscapes.
 • Temperature: 28–35°C 

Best for adventurous travelers who don’t mind a little rain. Ha Giang and Sapa are incredibly lush this time of year.

2. Central Vietnam (Hue, Da Nang, Hoi An, Phong Nha)


 • This is the dry season in Central Vietnam.
 • Long, sunny days — ideal for beach holidays and outdoor adventures.
 • Temperature: 30–37°C 

Perfect time to visit Hoi An, Da Nang, Hue, ride the Hai Van Pass by motorbike, or explore the caves in Phong Nha.
    

 3. Southern Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta, Phu Quoc)

 • July is part of the rainy season, but don’t worry — rain often comes in short afternoon bursts.
 • Mornings are usually dry and warm.
 • Temperature: 28–33°C 

Great for exploring local culture, markets, and taking boat rides in the Mekong Delta.
