The weather in Ha Long
Bay, Vietnam, can vary depending on the time of year,
the best time to visit Ha Long Bay is generally from
October to April. During these months, the weather
is cooler and more comfortable, with temperatures
ranging from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). The dry season
also means there's less rainfall, making it ideal for
cruising and exploring the stunning karst formations and
islands.
The summer months (May to September) are hotter, with
temperatures reaching up to 30°C (86°F), and the
humidity can be high. This period also coincides with
the rainy season, so you might encounter showers and
storms, which can disrupt outdoor activities.
If you're looking for fewer crowds and the best weather,
late autumn (October-November) and early spring
(March-April) are particularly great months to go.
• Winter (December to February): It’s cool and
misty with temperatures ranging from 14°C to 20°C (57°F
to 68°F). Rain is occasional, and the weather is often
cloudy.
• Spring (March to May): The weather becomes
warmer and more pleasant, with temperatures ranging from
18°C to 28°C (64°F to 82°F). There’s less rain, and it's
a great time to visit for clearer skies and more
sunshine.
• Summer (June to August): This is the hottest
season, with temperatures ranging from 26°C to 34°C
(79°F to 93°F). It can be humid, and there’s a higher
chance of rainfall and occasional storms due to the
monsoon season.
• Fall (September to November): The weather cools
down a bit with temperatures ranging from 22°C to 30°C
(72°F to 86°F). It's another good time to visit, with
clear skies and moderate temperatures.
The cheapest time to visit Ha Long Bay is
typically during the low or off-peak seasons, which are
from May to September. During these months, the weather
is hot and there is pretty much raining and thus there
are fewer tourists, meaning prices for accommodation,
cruises, and tours are lower. The peak tourist season is
from October to April, with cooler weather, but it can
also be crowded and more expensive. If you're looking
for good deals and fewer tourists, visiting in the low
season would be ideal.
However, it's worth noting that the weather can be
chilly and misty, especially in the winter months
(December-February), which might affect visibility.
