Quy Nhon, a coastal city in central Vietnam, experiences a tropical monsoon climate, characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons. Each season in Quy Nhon offers a unique charm, from the vibrant, sun-drenched beaches to the serene, rain-soaked countryside, making it a year-round destination for travellers seeking diverse experiences.
Spring
From March to May, Quy Nhon experiences a comfortable average temperature of 74°-84°F (25°-29°C), with highs reaching up to 93°F (34°C). Rainfall is relatively low at 2.4 inches (60mm) per month, and humidity averages around 60%. March marks the beginning of the dry season, bringing increased sunshine and a lower chance of significant rainfall, though brief showers are still possible. The surrounding fields and hills remain lush and green. This period is popular with tourists due to the mild weather, resulting in higher prices for hotels and activities.
Summer
From June to August, Quy Nhon experiences an average high temperature of 93°F (34°C), with low humidity at 60% and minimal rainfall of 2.8 inches (70mm) per month. As the dry season reaches its peak, temperatures plateau in June and remain steady through August. Despite this being only 13°F (8°C) warmer than Quy Nhon’s coldest months, July and August are peak travel times for Northern Hemisphere visitors taking advantage of their summer break. It’s at this point that 5 star hotels in Vietnam, such as the Anantara Quy Nhon Villas start experiencing their highest bookings.
Autumn
As the monsoon season begins, Quy Nhon experiences a dramatic increase in rainfall, averaging 15 inches (400mm) per month, with peaks reaching up to 20 inches (500mm). Temperatures cool to highs of 90°-83°F (32°-28°C), but the increase in humidity to 70-80% makes the change from the dry season less noticeable. Tourist numbers drop considerably due to the higher likelihood of activities being disrupted by adverse weather, making this the quietest and cheapest time of the year.
Winter
Towards the end of the monsoon season, Quy Nhon experiences a significant drop in rainfall, with average precipitation decreasing from 20 inches (500mm) in November to 5 inches (120mm) in December, occurring on around 8 days a month. The average high temperature stabilizes at 80°F (27°C), and humidity remains at 70%. Tourist numbers are typically lower, making this period an excellent time to visit due to less rain and comfortable temperatures. However, the Tet holiday, which falls in late January or early February, can impact travel plans.
