Bonjour les forumeurs,
J’envisage de partir au Vietnam au mois d’octobre, mais j’hésite à choisir entre le Nord et le Sud. Pourriez-vous me faire savoir quel temps fait-il à ce moment-là?
* Un extrait issu du site d'une agence locale :
Septembre, octobre, novembre. De mi-septembre à mi-octobre les rizières en terrasses du Nord Vietnam sont incroyablement belles. Elles sont d’un jaune flamboyant, c’est la période de la moisson. A partir de mi-octobre de grosses pluies sont à craindre dans le Centre. Si vous souhaitez faire un parcours Nord-Sud privilégiez la période mi-septembre/mi-octobre. En novembre, les températures sont agréables sur l’ensemble du territoire et les journées sont normalement ensoleillées dans le Nord et le Sud.
Je suis natif du Vietnam, j'y ai vécu jusqu'à l'âge de 12 ans, et j'y suis retourné en "touriste" à 3 reprises : février 1993 (du Sud au Nord), décembre 2004 (Sud et Centre), mai 2014 (Nord).
Personnellement, en ce qui concerne les paysages, je trouve que le Nord est plus beau.
Bonjour Brupattt
j'ai voyagé deux fois au vietnam en octobre une fois dans le nord et une fois dans le sud les deux voyages était agréable pas trop chaud voir même frais en soirée a sapa et dalat et quelques averse intense mais souvent breve
cordialement
Je vois que vous ne parlez pas du Centre, ça tombe bien car c'est le début du déluge;
quoique jusqu’à Đà Nẵng en venant du sud , ça ira encore .
Le col de Đèo Hải Vân (col des Nuages) est une véritable barrière pour les pluies qui arrosent avec abondance la province de Thừa Thiên-Huế de début octobre à mi janvier
Au mois d’octobre, le soleil brille de nouveau dans le nord du Vietnam, excepté pour la région environnante de Sapa (nord du Vietnam) où le climat en octobre au Vietnam continue d'être peu favorable. La pluie est toujours abondante pour le reste du territoire comme pour les cas des villes situées au centre et dans le sud du pays.
Dans le Nord du pays, c’est un moment favorable pour découvrir la baie d'Halong et ses curiosités naturelles et Hanoi est aussi malgré quelques jours pluvieux, connaît, plus souvent, un temps clément.
Au centre, en dépit de la légère baisse des températures, mais la météo est toujours mauvaise. En fait, il y a bcp de pluies.
Dans le Sud, l'île de Phu Quoc est très pluvieuse, avec des pluies très intenses durant la journée. Puis le temps s'améliorera progressivement et il fait du soleil dans quelques parties comme pour le cas de Ho Chi Minh Ville.
Nous étions d'Octobre à Janvier et je confirme qu'en Octobre il pleuvait pas mal mais rien d'insurmontable :p
Après quelques semaines le beau temps était de retour et il faisait TRES chaud :)
Ça dépend des années ...
En 1991 à Huê , 8 jours de très grosse pluie sans interruption; 24/24 ;
humidité à 100 %, impossible de faire sécher du linge ;
et grosses inondations bien entendu; la rue Le Loi qui se prolonge jusqu’à la superbe et déserte plage de Huê était coupée, il fallait " di do " , aller en bateau , pour continuer son chemin du côté du Centre de français qui est malheureusement fermé depuis de nombreuses années.
mais éviter(z) de prononcer cette expression la nuit tombée 😛😛 ;
et il y a eu bien pire en 1999 , là, c’était cauchemardesque .
Bonjour,
Le mois d'Octobre il pleut parfois dans le Nord mais pas grave, c'est une bon période pour y visiter. Au sud c'est la fin de la saison des pluies.
Le Nord est plus à voyager si je dois choisir entre deux régions.
Cordialement.
En octobre, il fait très agréable au Vietnam car c’est la période entre l’été et l’automne. Il fait beaucoup de soleils mais la température n’est pas élevée, vous vous sentez confortable. C’est vraiment le beau temps pour voyager aux provinces du Nord comme Sapa, Dong Van ou Cao Bang tandis que le climat dans les provinces méridionales est chaud, la température est plus de 31oC. Alors, il vaut mieux que vous voyagiez dans les provinces comme Da Lat, Da Nang (visiter à Ba Na est une bonne idée).
Tout le monde choisit souvent à visiter au Vietnam dans les mois à la fin d’année car c’est la saison baisse du tourisme, le tarif sera moins cher et c’est la période la plus belle pour la visite au Vietnam. La température n’est ni élevée ni chaude.
Vous devriez faire du trekking dans les régions du nord ou dans les régions reculées, montagneuses. Je vous propose quelques sites : Ha Giang, Sapa, Dien Bien…
J’ai fait un trekking au Nord du Vietnam en octobre l’année 2014, j’ai visité Meo Vac, Dong Van, Bac Ha, Y Ty, Sapa, … Le temps faisait très beau. Pendant mon voyage, il y a eu quelques pluies mais il n’a pas influencé beaucoup. La température était parfaite. C’était vraiment un superbe voyage.
Il fait du soleil presque la journée mais la température n’est pas élevée. Le temps est très agréable. Vous ne vous inquiété pas de cyclones et des pluies diluviennes car ils ont lieu souvent au septembre. Il fait parfois la pluie, mais les pluies ne sont pas violentes.
En Octobre, il fait très beau à Hanoi, pas trop chaud ni froid. Parce que c'est le début de l'hiver. Je crois qu'il vaut mieux visiter le Nord si tu veux voyager eu Vietnam en Octobre, parce qu'il fait toujours chaud au Sud. La température est d'environ 28 degrés le jour et 23 degrés la nuit. De plus, Hanoi est très joli et romantique ce moment là quand il y a des feuilles mortes.
L’octobre est le meilleur temps pour partir au Vietnam, faire du trekking quelques provinces montagneuses comme sapa, Bac Ha, Dong Van, Ban Lac Mai Chau.
La meilleure période pour gouter les spécialités, les barbecues dans les villages reculés.
Le climat du mois d’octobre est anormal car il y avait des jours ensoleillés même des jours de pluie avec les cyclones et les averses. Selon le climat des dernières années, la période entre 8-14 octobre a beaucoup de soleils et peu de pluies.
Si vous allez au Vietnam en octobre, choisissez le Hanoi pour la destination principale. Dans cette période, le climat à Hanoi est très différent par rapport à celui à Ho Chi Minh ville. Il fait beaucoup de soleils à Hanoi tandis qu’il fait beaucoup de pluies à Sai Gon
Hi everyone.
I’m planning a trip to Colombia in 2027.
The idea is to arrive in May.
From what I’ve gathered, that’s the start of the rainy season.
Can anyone confirm that it’s already raining a lot during that period?
I know the climate can obviously vary from one region of the country to another.
I’d really like to go straight to Leticia in the Amazon.
Any info on the weather at that time?
I’m also looking for a plan for an Amazon tour.
Specifically, a good, conscientious agency that does things right in terms of environmental respect.
I already did a tour in Peru 10 years ago in the Pacaya Samiria reserve, and it was amazing.
The simple reason was that the tour was on a motor-free canoe—we made no noise, so the immersion was total.
Is it possible to find a tour in Leticia that offers a motor-free boat excursion?
Thanks in advance for your answers, and fair winds to everyone!!
Hi! I’m on vacation from 10/31 to 11/7 and want to go somewhere sunny. I’m leaving from Toulouse and the flight can’t be more than 5 hours.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help
We want to do a few safaris, visit villages, the mountains, see tea plantations, etc. But we also want to see turtles. We love snorkeling but aren’t experts—we’re just happy to see colorful fish and coral. We’ve always wanted to see turtles too, so the idea is still to see *something* underwater 😊
Can you tell us which regions to prioritize and which to avoid given the climate at this time of year? Thanks a million!
Hi,
We're leaving on June 19th for an 8-day road trip in South Iceland. I've heard that even in summer, it's cold and the weather can change several times a day. Should we mainly pack winter gear, like a K-Way, fleece, down jacket, beanie, etc.?
For those who’ve experienced it, what’s the weather like in Shanghai at the end of December?
I’ve heard it’s cold, but coming from France, is the winter milder than in Lyon, for example?
I’m tempted to spend the Christmas holidays in Shanghai and the surrounding areas (Nanjing, Suzhou) with my family—kids are 11 and 2. It’d be a bummer if the little one catches a cold over there.
Generally, is this a good time for simple family visits to the main spots, restaurants in the city, indoor heating, and outdoor walks?
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Mauritius—anyone have advice on when to go? I’m thinking April, May, or June for my stay. Which month would you recommend for the best beach weather, sunbathing, and exploring the island? Thanks!
Hi,
we’re planning to travel through Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) in February and March 2027.
From a seasonal and weather perspective, at that time of year and with hiking as our main activity, is it better to explore Patagonia from south to north or the other way around?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve planned a three-week itinerary for this summer, from August 9 to 27, in Sri Lanka:
Negombo – 1 night
Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle – 4 nights
Kandy – 2 nights
Ella – 3 nights
Tangalle – 6 nights
Colombo Airport – 1 night
I know this isn’t the ideal time for the south since the beach conditions aren’t great, but we’ve booked a hotel with a pool and won’t be swimming in the sea. We want to relax after all the travel since we’re bringing our two kids, aged 6 and 8.
I know the east would be better, but (i) I’m struggling to find suitable accommodation, and (ii) it adds a lot of travel time, and my kids can only handle about 3 hours at a stretch.
I looked into Arugam Bay, but it’s a 7-hour trip back to Colombo from there.
I’ve checked every weather site imaginable, but they don’t all agree. Do you think we’ll spend our whole trip in the rain, or is the monsoon in the south mostly limited to the sea, as I’ve read?
I’m worried about ending up in the middle of a natural disaster with my two young kids, given recent events.
hi
After reading quite a few posts and buying a guidebook, I’m still struggling to finalize my suitcase.
Given that we’ll be visiting both islands during our road trip and suitcases aren’t exactly expandable,
I’ve noted that temperatures can be changeable—but should I pack more winter clothes than summer ones?
Thanks for your help
We’ve decided to go to Skopelos for 2 weeks at the end of April. What kind of weather should we expect? Any special things to know about this remote island?
Thanks for your tips
Hi there. On my itinerary from São Luís to Jericoacoara, I’ll be passing through the Lençóis. Is there any point stopping there this time of year? Apparently, the lagoons are dry, but aside from the lagoons, is the surrounding landscape still interesting enough to warrant a 1- or 2-day stop? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
We’ve booked our flight tickets and we’re leaving from October 29th to November 13th for Mauritius.
I just reserved our accommodation in Cap Malheureux.
We’re used to hot and especially very sunny destinations like Oman, Jordan, Uzbekistan...
If you can reassure me about the period—can we expect sunny weather? I’m really dreaming of discovering Le Morne Brabant under beautiful sunshine...
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I need to go to Sri Lanka at the end of January.
I’ve seen that many roads, hotels, and parks were closed after the cyclone, which unfortunately caused a lot of damage.
Does anyone have more information?
Would it be wiser to postpone our trip?
Thanks, Alain.
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Oman, probably the first half of February to avoid the extreme heat and Ramadan.
But after checking various weather sites and reading accounts, I’m a bit worried about rain, which can apparently be frequent and heavy in February. I’d love to hear from travelers or locals who’ve been there recently.
What would be the ideal month to explore Oman without extreme heat or rain? November?
Also, it’s best to avoid visiting the wadis on weekends—does that mean Saturday and Sunday?
This year, 2026, I can only get away in April and May. I never travel during these months usually, and from what I know, they aren’t the best for India. But in such a big country, there are always spots that are better than others weather-wise.
Which region would you recommend?
Given that I’ve already traveled quite a bit in this country, and in any case, I’ll be discovering places I don’t know yet. No need for a major tourist hotspot or luxury comfort.
Hi everyone,
We’d love to return to India next year for 3 weeks (we visited Rajasthan about fifteen years ago). Unfortunately, we’re tied to traveling in September, and our initial plan was to explore Himachal Pradesh. However, it seems like that might not be the best month for this region.
Could you share your experiences from that time of year in Shimla, Manali, Dharamsala, or even the Spiti Valley—in short, anywhere in Himachal Pradesh? Otherwise, which region of India would you recommend for a September trip?
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip from mid-January to the end of February but I just can’t make up my mind 😕
I’ve looked into a few different options: Brazil, Cambodia, and Ecuador. The last one really appeals to me, but what’s making me hesitate is the risk of our trip being a bit too rainy (literally ),
We’re more drawn to the Andes, exploring colonial cities, typical villages, markets, and a bit of the coast. We’ve already gotten a taste of this in Bolivia, Colombia, and Chile. Plus, we’d love to do part of it by car since we’re used to driving at our own pace and stopping whenever we feel like it. Anyway, time’s running out, and I need to decide so I can finalize a route and book the tickets!!
Can anyone help me make up my mind or decide to postpone it for later? But for this year, I don’t have any other time slot to travel. Thanks for reading this far! !
I’ve planned a trip to Asia for the first half of November.
I’ll arrive in Singapore at the start of November for about 3 days, and I’ll leave from Bangkok in mid-November.
In between, I’d like to gradually head north to visit some less touristy islands on the Thai coast.
Since the weather is a big risk during this period, I’d love to hear your recommendations.
I’m looking for: sunshine, snorkeling, beaches, nature / jungle in places that are easily accessible without too much transport to make the most of my trip.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Chile this coming August and would love to head down to Chiloé. We’ve heard that as we go further south at this time of year, the weather gets pretty rough.
What’s the weather like in Chiloé in late August/early September? What activities can we do? And which ones become really tricky because of the weather?
Thanks in advance for your tips!

So great to be back on this forum after being away for—I don’t even know what!
I’m planning a trip to Malaysia in July with my 5-year-old son. The thing is, I’m not sure which coast to choose. AI keeps telling me east one minute and west the next. Which spot is least affected by rain during this time?
Hey everyone! 🙂
Just giving you the quick context: A group of friends and I are planning a trip to South Korea (Seoul/Busan) at the end of June/July next year. It falls right in the middle of the monsoon season, but we don’t really have other availability options.😕
I’d love to hear from people who’ve visited the country and these cities during this period—basically, is it not as bad as it sounds, or should we just cancel our tickets (we don’t mind the heat, it’s mostly the rain that scares us).
I know there are plenty of indoor activities, but do you think we’ll still manage to get a few sunny days, or will it be torrential rain for our entire 2-week trip?
The only other country we’ve visited during the rainy season is Brazil (in the northeast) around the same time, and honestly, aside from a few really annoying downpours, we had sunshine most of the time and it was awesome. That said, the climate is totally different, so I’m not sure how relevant the comparison is.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read or reply to this post! 🙂
Hi everyone.
Not sure if guidebooks, agencies, and other tour operators are keeping up by changing their visiting hours and offerings.
Personally, I see a promising opportunity here—jumping on this adaptation to extreme climates before others do, since they’re inevitably coming.
From my own travel experience, I’ve met a few guides so far who are starting to adjust, like in Egypt, Kenya, Senegal, and elsewhere.
They avoid crowds and the hottest hours by starting their tours around 6–7 AM, when it’s cooler.
Yeah, you’ve gotta wake up early, but the payoff is so worth it. 😴
If you’ve got any great tips like this, why not discuss them in this thread and share addresses or websites where the people in charge have realized climate change is real and are adapting? 😊
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia in 2026.
I’m torn between visiting the Fish River Canyon and the Caprivi Strip / Victoria Falls.
I’d also love your advice on the best time to travel for wildlife viewing and pleasant weather.
I haven’t chosen a tour operator yet... since I’m traveling solo, I’d prefer a small-group escorted trip. Has anyone traveled with a local agency and what’s your feedback or advice?
Thanks so much!
I’m taking a month-long trip to northern Argentina throughout September. Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Salta, Humahuaca, Cafayate, and if time allows, La Rioja. I’m unsure about what clothes to pack. What are the temperatures like in September?
Thanks for your great tips!
