Climate of Vietnam

Climate of Vietnam, which is a country in the northern hemisphere, is a humid subtropical with humidity averaging 84% throughout the year. However, as latitude is difference and topographical relief marks variety, the climate tends to change considerably from place to place. In the winter or dry season, extending roughly from November to April, the monsoon winds usually blow from the northeast along the China coast and across the Gulf of Tonkin, picking up considerable moisture. The winter season in most parts of the country is dry only by comparison with the rainy or summer season. During the southwesterly summer monsoon, from May to October, the heated air of the Gobi Desert rises, far to the north, inducing moist air to flow inland from the sea and deposit heavy rainfall. The climate of Vietnam in the southern regions especially Ho Chi Minh City and surrounding Mekong Delta is predominantly Tropical savanna climate with high humidity and a distinct wet and dry season.
Annual rainfall is substantial in all regions and torrential in some. It ranges from 1,200 to 3,000 millimeters (47.2 to 118.1 in). Nearly 90% of the precipitation occurs during the summer. The average annual temperature is generally higher in the plains than in the mountains and plateaus. Temperatures range from a low of 5 °C (41 °F) in December and January( the coolest months) to more than 37 °C (98.6 °F) in Apri( the hottest month).
