June: lychees galore, fragrant lotus and an ice-cold iced tea

In the heat of midsummer, northern Vietnam hits peak lychee season and the lotus bloom, while the South gets steady afternoon rain. June is also full of reasons to gather: Children's Day, Tết Đoan Ngọ, Father's Day and exam season.

Weather across Vietnam

Midsummer: hot, humid and stormy

June is often one of the hottest months of the year in many parts of the country. Thunderstorms arrive fast and clear just as fast, so a folding umbrella always comes in handy.

  • North: hot and humid, with scorching sun broken up by thunderstorms
  • Central: hot and sunny; head to the beaches in Da Nang and Hoi An early in the morning or late in the afternoon
  • Central Highlands: rainy season and cool weather, with most rain in the late afternoon and evening
  • South: rainy season with short afternoon showers; mornings are still sunny and muggy

Little tips

Pick great fruit, stay comfortable in the heat

Choosing and storing produce

  • Lychees: pick fruit with bright red skin and green stems; they spoil quickly, so keep them cool and eat them soon
  • Plums: choose plump fruit with a white bloom and no bruises; rinse gently before eating
  • Mangosteen, rambutan: buy just enough to finish within a few days

Staying comfortable in the heat

  • Drink plenty of water and go easy on very sweet drinks
  • Avoid the harsh midday sun; wear a hat and breathable clothes
  • In the evening, choose low-caffeine drinks so you can sleep well

Getting out in June

  • To see West Lake lotus, go at dawn when the flowers are open and the air is cool
  • Hit the beaches in Da Nang and Hoi An early in the morning or late in the afternoon, and wear sunscreen
  • Storm season is approaching, so check the forecast before long trips
