Which part of Vietnam has cold weather?

Where is winter in Vietnam?

North Vietnam. Winter. Colder. Not that cold.

Fansipan sees snow. Once in a blue moon. So?

• Northern Vietnam: Real winter. For Vietnam.

• Temperatures: Can dip. Near 10°C (50°F). Rare. Don’t pack arctic gear.

• Snowfall: Almost never. Unless you’re climbing Fansipan.

• Central, South Vietnam: No winter. Just…less hot.

• My grandmother claims she saw snow in Hanoi once. Lies.

Which part of Vietnam is cold in July?

Ugh, July in Vietnam. Sapa! That’s where it’s cold. Definitely. 25-35°C in the south? Sounds sweltering. I was in Nha Trang last July – sweat pouring. Couldn’t stand it.

Sapa though… mountains, right? Think I saw pictures of people in jackets. Crazy. While the south is a furnace. Northern Vietnam, a different story entirely.

Need a sweater there, for sure. Seriously, imagine, I’m in Sapa, sipping coffee, cold air… while my friends are roasting in Ho Chi Minh City. So unfair, lol.

Northern Vietnam, July. Mountains. Cold. Got it? Good.

• Sapa: Cold in July
• Southern Vietnam: Hot and humid
• Temperature difference is huge.
• Nha Trang = sweating profusely.
• Sapa = jackets and coffee.
• Seriously considering a trip back to Sapa. Next year maybe. Or this December.

Which is the coldest place in Vietnam?

Sapa. −6.1°C. January 4th, 1974. A date etched in frost. Frozen breath on the air. Imagine. White blankets covering everything. Sapa. Mountain air, thin and biting. A winter festival. Snowfall a celebration. Dancing, perhaps. Flakes falling like whispers. Sapa. Coldest place. Vietnam. Sapa whispers. Cold. Cold. Food, rich and warming. Northern Vietnam culture, vibrant against the white. Sapa. A memory of cold. Of mountain winds. Of snow. Of a festival born of winter’s heart. Sapa.

Which part of Vietnam is cold in December?

North. 20°C average. Central, milder. 20°C to 25°C. Hanoi, Sapa…cold. Mountains, colder. December, sometimes freezing Sapa. Pack accordingly. North’s a different beast then.

• North Vietnam: Expect true winter. Coldest.
• Central Vietnam: Mild. Beach weather, maybe.
• Mountains (Sapa, Hoang Lien Son Range): Sub-zero. Snow possible.

Hanoi (North): Daytime, low teens Celsius. Night, colder.

Sapa (Mountains): Freezing. Below zero common. Ice.

Da Nang (Central): Pleasant. 20s Celsius. Warm enough for beach, some days.

2024 data: My December trip, Hanoi was brisk. Sapa? Frigid. Had three layers, still freezing. Da Nang, shorts and t-shirt some days.

Which city in Vietnam has snow?

Sapa. Yeah, Sapa. Went there January 2024, freezing my butt off. Expected some cool mountain vibes, not this cold.

Remember waking up, totally disoriented in my tiny Homestay room? Like, 6 AM. Looked out the window… Bam! White everywhere.

I felt…shocked. And cold. So, so cold. Snow in Vietnam. Never thought I’d see that.

It was pretty amazing to see the mountains covered in snow, but my thin jacket wasn’t cutting it, lol. The locals were totally unfazed, wearing like, flip-flops. Madness.

Things I wish I knew before going to Sapa in Winter:

• Pack wayyy warmer clothes. Seriously.
• The roads get slippery. Be careful!
• The views are great, but prepare for fog too.
• Hot pot is a MUST. Keeps you alive, honestly.

Damn, I need to go back. Maybe in the spring this time.

What is the coldest it gets in Hanoi?

January in Hanoi? Brrr, that’s when it’s colder than a witch’s well digger, I tell ya! We’re talkin’ average temps of 15°C, which is, like, popsicle weather for tropical peeps.

But hold your horses, it can get worse. Sometimes, the mercury dips down to a teeth-chattering 2.7°C. My chihuahua, Pepito, practically requires a parka at that point, not kidding.

Hanoi’s winter is like a bad rom-com. Just when you think it’s gonna be all sunshine, BAM! A cold front outta nowhere! Bundle up, folks, it’s a wild ride.

• Coldest Month: January is the usual suspect.
• Average Temp: 15°C (sweater weather…maybe two).
• Record Low: 2.7°C (grab the hot cocoa!).
• Pepito’s parka: Absolutely necessary.
• My winter strategy: Layers upon layers!
