How about a trip to East / north east Vietnam
A Brief Summary
If your idea of a great holiday is to enjoy fantastic food, great hospitality and reliably torrential rain most of the time you’re there, then you might want to consider October in eastern Vietnam. In the midst of the monsoon rains, both October and November are exceptionally wet months. During the course of a week (for example), you’ll likely have a couple of dry(ish) days, but the remainder will see as much rain falling per day as you’d get in Manchester on an average fortnight in June! If, say, you have hair that doesn’t respond well to humidity or aren’t overly keen on hearing about flood warnings everywhere you go… then don’t discount this beautiful area of the world altogether… just don’t come in October!
Location
About the Weather
The far eastern coast of Vietnam has a hot, tropical savanna climate, with long period of dry, or relatively dry weather, and a short, but very wet, rainy season. Temperatures range from 26°c in Dec and Jan to 35°c in Jul and Aug, but highs above 40°c are possible from Apr to Jun. Temperatures below 18°c are very rare. All months see some rain, but the driest period is from Feb to Apr, while the sunniest months of the year, with around 9 hours sunshine a day, are Apr and May, while the cloudiest are Nov and Dec with just 4-5 hours. Humidity is high year-round, but very high during the heaviest of the rains in Oct and Nov when daily torrential downpours soak the region, often accompanied by quite strong and gusty winds. Typhoons don’t often strike thie region directly, but can bring heavy rain and very strong winds on occasion from Aug to Nov
