[Vietnam February Travel Complete Guide] Thorough explanation of clothing, climate, and belongings

In order to spend a comfortable trip to Vietnam in February, it is important to choose clothes that match the climate of each region.

Temperatures and humidity vary between the northern, central, and southern regions.

In this article, I will introduce the clothes, climate characteristics, and things to bring when traveling to Vietnam in February.

What is the climate in Vietnam in February?

North (Hanoi Sapa)

Temperature: 10 to 18 degrees

Characteristics: Winter continues to be cold, and the humidity is high, so the cold feels severe.

It gets particularly cold in the morning and evening, and it can drop below 10 degrees.

Tip: Bring a thick coat, scarf, and gloves, and we recommend layering to handle indoor and outdoor temperature differences.

Central (Danang Hue)

Temperature: 15 to 24 degrees

Features: There are many sunny days, and sea breezes sometimes blow, but the climate is comfortable.

There is little rain, and relatively warm days continue during the day.

Tip: Wear a light shirt to keep you comfortable during the day, but pack a light jacket for the cold at night.

South (Ho Chi Minh and Mekong Delta)

Temperature: 24 to 30 degrees

Characteristics: The dry season continues, and there is almost no rain.

The sun is strong and ultraviolet rays are severe, so I feel the heat during the day.

Tip: Light clothing such as T-shirts and shorts is sufficient, but bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect against the sun.
