Short answer
February to May is the best time: mostly dry, with highs from about 24°C in February to 31°C in May and calm seas. June to August is hotter (highs around 33–34°C) but still good for the beach and busy with Vietnamese holidaymakers, while September to December is the rainy season, with up to about 24–28 rainy days a month and typhoons possible.

Season by season
Spring (Mar–May)
The best season: highs of about 27–31°C, lows of 22–26°C and around 11–13 rainy days a month, with fewer crowds than summer.
Summer (Jun–Aug)
Hot, with highs around 33–34°C and lows near 27°C; good beach weather but busy with domestic tourists and pricier.
Autumn (Sep–Nov)
The wettest time, with roughly 24–28 rainy days a month and the highest risk of typhoons and floods in October and November; seas are often rough.
Winter (Dec–Feb)
Mild (highs 23–24°C), often cloudy and wet in December and January, drying out in February; Tet brings crowds and higher prices.
Events worth planning around
- Tet (Lunar New Year), late January or February, when many businesses close for several days and travel is fully booked
- Da Nang International Fireworks Festival, usually held in early summer over several weekends (check dates, they vary)
- Dragon Bridge fire and water show every Saturday and Sunday at 21:00
- Mid-Autumn Festival, in September or early October depending on the lunar calendar
When to avoid
Avoid October and November if you want beach days: rain, rough seas and typhoons are most likely then. Avoid the Tet week if you dislike crowds, full transport and closed restaurants.
