While some people might say otherwise, there is not really a bad time to visit Vietnam.
July might be the wettest month of the year in some parts of Vietnam, but it’s still a great month to visit. At this time of the year, the temperature can rise to its highest (almost 40°C in some regions), making it the perfect time for beach lovers. Keep in mind however that Vietnam’s heat might be pretty different from your country’s heat. It can get very humid and almost unbearable sometimes.

Hanoi and Halong Bay can still be visited, although they may be prone to storms and heavy rainfalls (in rare occasions). It’s also the rainy season in the South, but you can still enjoy warm and sunny weather.
