Climate of Vietnam
Climate is tropical monsoon, formed under influence summer humid (southern and south-western) and winter dry (north-eastern) monsoons. Winter monsoon comes from north-east in period from October to May, bringing rains to the territories of New Changa, but dry and sunny weather to south. In spring and autumn the weather is unstable - typhoons fall in the coast. Average temperature is less changeable and fluctuates from +26C in December to +29C in April.
There are no good or bad seasons for persons wishing to have rest in Vietnam, because if in one part of country it's too humid and too damp, you'll always find place, where it's sunny and warm at the same time. The unique barrier to rest in Vietnam is process of reception of the visa to Vietnam.
