Best Time To Visit Nha Trang > Weather, Temperature & Season

What is the best time to visit Nha Trang?

The best time to visit Nha Trang is January to August, and February to May is the pick, with the lowest rainfall of the year and temperatures around 25°C to 27°C.

The useful thing about Nha Trang is that it runs on a different calendar to the rest of southern Vietnam. It stays dry from January to August while Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta are wet from May to November, which makes it the beach that works through the southern summer.

September to December is the wet season, with October and November taking most of the year’s rain, along with thunderstorms and some typhoon risk.

More about Best Time to Travel to Nha Trang

Nha Trang in Peak Season (February to May)

Temperature: 25°C to 27°C.
Weather: The lowest rainfall of the year, with clear skies and calm, clear water.
Crowds: The busiest months, and rates are at their highest.
Tip: The best window for diving and snorkelling off the islands, when visibility is at its best. Book boat trips and dive slots ahead in these months.

Nha Trang in Summer (June to August)

Temperature: Around 30°C, with July and August the hottest.
Weather: Warm and still largely dry. This is Nha Trang’s unofficial summer and the sea is at its warmest.
Crowds: Busy with domestic travellers on school holidays in June and July.
Tip: These are the months when Nha Trang beats the Andaman-facing beaches and the Mekong side, because it is dry while they are not. Good for island hopping and water sports.

Nha Trang in Wet Season (September to December)

Temperature: 23°C to 28°C.
Weather: The monsoon. October and November take most of the year’s rainfall, with thunderstorms and a typhoon risk, and seas turn rough.
Crowds: Lowest of the year, with the cheapest rooms.
Tip: Boat trips and diving are often cancelled. The waterfalls and countryside are at their fullest, and the mud baths and Po Nagar towers work in any weather.

Nha Trang Islands and Diving Conditions

Nha Trang is really a base for the bay, so sea conditions matter more than the forecast on land.

Diving and snorkelling: February to May for the clearest water, and June to August still good.
Island hopping and boat trips: January to August.
Largely off: October and November, when rough seas cancel most sailings.

Visibility is the thing that changes most through the year, so if diving is the reason for the trip, aim at February to May.
