Climate of Vietnam Shopping in Vietnam Vietnam is large enough to have several distinct climate zones. The South is hot, humid & tropical, with temperatures hovering in the 25-30°C all year round, but it rains the most from May to November. The North has four distinct seasons, with a relatively nippy winter (temperatures can plunge below 15°C in Hanoi), a hot and dry summer and pleasant spring (March-April) and autumn (October-December) seasons. However, in the highlands both extremes are amplified, with occasional snow in the winter and temperatures hitting 40°C in the summer. In the Central regions the weather is somewhere in between, the rainy season is in summer, not the winter. Vietnam is certainly a bargain hunter's delight. Foreigners are attracted to a huge variety of souvenirs and traditional handicrafts. Popular items that fascinate visitors are the remains from the Vietnam War-Army watches - clothing - compasses and all kinds of military equipment left behind by the US Army over 20 years ago.
