Hoi An weather at a glance

  • Hoi An sits on Vietnam’s central coast near Da Nang, with a big contrast between a sunnier dry season and a heavy-rain wet season. The Old Town is flat and walkable, but in wet months, waterlogging and occasional flooding can change routing.
  • A common split is: drier/hotter months (Feb–Aug) and wet season (Sep–Jan). Around Oct–Nov, heavier rain events and storm influences can be more relevant.
  • In summer, sun exposure can feel intense. Even with coastal breeze, midday outdoor time can drain energy quickly.
  • In wet months, rain can be heavy enough that umbrellas feel limited—rain jackets and waterproof pouches often feel more practical.
  • Hoi An is naturally suited to a morning + evening rhythm (lantern nights). In hotter months, timing changes comfort a lot.

Dry season: smoother movement, but sun exposure and heat feel matter

Avg low 20–26°C / high 28–35°C · Rainy days: 2–10 / 10–120 mm

  • Fewer rain disruptions make plans easier to run.
  • From May–Aug, midday heat can feel harsh—timing matters.
  • Beach/boat/bike routes are easy, but exposure time drives fatigue.

Suggested outfits

  • · Breathable/quick-dry clothing

A note for travelers

In dry months, rain matters less—sun exposure time matters more.

Wet season: heavy rain and route changes (waterlogging/flooding) become real variables

Avg low 19–24°C / high 25–30°C · Rainy days: 12–24 / 200–600 mm (often peaking Oct–Nov)

  • Rain can be persistent or very intense on some days.
  • Near the river and Old Town, waterlogging/flooding can disrupt walking plans.
  • On windy days, umbrellas can be awkward—rain jackets help.

Suggested outfits

  • · Rain jacket/water-safe pouch
  • · Quick-dry fabrics
  • · Less-slippery footwear

A note for travelers

Wet season often works best with indoor anchors and flexible routing.
