Practical weather notes for Hanoi

Hanoi has a more distinct winter than most Southeast Asian capitals, since its position further from the equator and closer to mainland China lets cooler continental air reach the city between December and February, bringing grey skies, drizzle and a persistent damp chill even though frost is rare.

Seasons in Hanoi

Summers, from May to September, are hot, humid and the wettest part of the year, with the bulk of the annual rainfall arriving in short, heavy downpours. Spring and autumn are generally regarded as the most pleasant seasons, with milder temperatures and less rain than summer.

Frequently asked questions

How often is the forecast updated?
The live weather data refreshes several times a day, so you're always seeing the latest forecast for Hanoi.

Is the 14-day forecast reliable?
The first few days are usually the most accurate. Further ahead, the forecast mainly shows a trend rather than the exact weather at a specific hour.

What should I check before heading outside?
Look at the combination of rain, wind and feels-like temperature. A short trip can handle a passing shower, but a longer walk or bike ride benefits from a more stable stretch of weather.
