The north: bring layers
Mountain weather differs from the lowlands. Even when Hanoi is warm, the highlands can be cool and misty. Pack layers, grippy shoes and a rainy-day alternative.
The centre: check the latest forecast
Coastal trips and cave visits depend on rain, wind and road conditions. Check the forecast shortly before leaving and confirm activities with the operator.
The south: make room for rain
Tropical showers can change outdoor plans. Schedule activities early, keep afternoons flexible and check sea conditions before taking an island ferry.
