Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at the Citadel and the Perfume River, 14 km from the airport (HUI): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

October: quiet. Busiest from January to March; quietest in June, August, September and October.

What to pack

  • Summer clothes by day, highs around 28°C.
  • Rain gear you will actually use: about 19 rainy days and 654 mm.
  • Humidity averages 87%; breathable fabrics dry faster.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.

Before you go

Type A and C and F and G plugs at 220 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Vietnamese đồng. No UK Foreign Office advice against travel. Everything for Vietnam: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

On arrival in Huế: the apps, paying, getting around, tipping and the emergency numbers.
