1. Climate, weather and temperature of Vietnam in June
1.1. Northern Vietnam in June
The hot and muggy summer reaches the North of Vietnam in June, especially in the lower altitude areas. The average night temperature is 30°C, but 75% humidity makes it feel steamy, while the day temperature is about 35 °C. On the hottest days, the temperature can reach 38°C with the strong sun at noon. There is little rain, but sudden showers make the weather much more unpredictable.
1.2. Northern mountain of Vietnam in June
The climate in the northern mountains is lower than in the plain due to the geological altitude. However, rains and showers are expected to fill up the streams, making the waterfalls more majestic. At this time, the terraces turn green with young rice seedlings.

1.3. Central Vietnam in June
The climate of Central Vietnam is also very hot during this period, especially when westerly winds arrive from Laos, which increases the average temperature. In provinces bordering Laos such as Tuong Duong in Nghe An, the climate is more rigid, the temperature can reach 40°C, with strong sun and little rain. Despite the weather, the central coast of Vietnam is most fascinating for beach activities.

1.4. Southern Vietnam in June
June is the rainy season in southern Vietnam, but like all areas with the tropical savanna climate, the rains are downpours and do not last all day. For the locals, this period in the Mekong Delta is considered a gift because the canals and rivers will be filled with water, marking the return of the tropical fruit season.
2. Travel costs to Vietnam and the flow of tourists in June
In June, many schools in Vietnam close for the summer holiday, which normally lasts more than two months. For this reason, many Vietnamese spend this time on family holidays. June is also the period of team-building activities—an opportunity to connect the employees of many companies in Vietnam, so the flow of domestic tourists is expected to increase vastly.
However, the flow of international tourists to Vietnam at this time is not too high, perhaps because so many tourists are a bit afraid of the sultry heat of Vietnam in the hottest month of the year.

However, it should be noted that June is considered the low season of tourism, so there are many airline promotions and the lowest price for hotel services, especially for those with 4-5 stars.
3. Things to see in Vietnam in June
Ninh Binh
Ninh Binh is at the top of the list, a province about 120 km South of Hanoi. If you look at the magnificent photos of Ninh Binh with rowing boats in the middle of the river along the rice fields, you will see that it is June. Having only one river rice crop per year, the scenery is not a popular thing to bother. The highly recommended activity at this time is to make a nice climb to the top of Mount Ngoa Long, known for the Mua Cave, to get a nice view of the beautiful Tam Coc.

Ha Noi
June is also noted as Hanoi's most colorful month, with the flowering of many trees: the red color of the royal poinciana, the purple of frizzy myrtle, the yellow of cassia in many streets, and even the rose of lotus flowers at the West Lake. Hanoi in June is warm but also very charming; it is the ideal time to have a "Bia hoi" (Street draft beer) after a walk in the neighborhood or simply a lotus-scented tea time after each meal.

The Bays of Tonkin Gulf
The most popular places are Halong Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay, and islands in the Gulf such as Monkey Island (in Haiphong), Co To Island, and Quan Lan in Quang Ninh. With the heat of June, it feels really pleasant to go to the sea, immersing yourself in a transparent and clear water. However with the sun quite strong, it is advisable to bring hats, sunglasses and sunscreen.

Sapa
It is nice to walk among the green terraces when there are not too many tourists. You can feel the fresh air before coming back to Sapa town and experiencing the local specialties.

Ha Giang
It is impossible to exclude Ha Giang from the list because of its majestic beauty. Regardless of how hot or cold it is, we can’t seem to avoid this site at any moment of the year; at all times, Ha Giang always remains splendid.
Cao Bang
Summer rains are advantageous for the waterfalls and streams at Cao Bang. Being a mountainous province, it feels much cooler than plains like Hanoi or Ninh Binh. In the middle of nature in Cao Bang, admiring the poetic Ban Gioc waterfall and the serenity of the Lenin stream refreshes our whole body and soul.

Mai Chau - Pu Luong
These are the quiet villages in the Northwest of Vietnam. Their beauty is made up of the hospitality of the locals, the houses on stilts like the nests of birds in the valley, the ethnic dances, the vases of light, a fragrant rice wine that can be tasted with straws, and the beauty of the work on the rice fields terraces. We highly recommend these destinations.

Phong Nha
Despite westerly winds from Laos, Phong Nha—Ke Bang National Park remains attractive to adventurous travelers or friends and families. With different hiking difficulty levels, the trip to Phong Nha can conquer anyone. Besides, you will be able to discover the natural beauty among streams, caves, sea, food, and activities such as swimming, mysterious cave adventures, ziplines, etc.
Hue, Hoi An and Da Nang
These are can-not-miss provinces and cities in Central Vietnam. They are rich in culture, offer delicious, unique food, and have sweet, nice local people.
The sea of the Gulf of Tonkin and the central coast of Vietnam are the recommended places for your beach holiday in Vietnam in June.
If you have a few days, about 2-3 full days, and want to combine with the visit, the bays in North East Vietnam are really excellent to be included in the program. However, if you want to stay a few days totally relaxing at the seaside resorts, you can evaluate between:
Lang Co Beach (Hue)
The highlights of Lang Co in Hue are the crystal clear water, white sandy beach, wild beauty, and local life. As Lang Co is far from the Hue city centre, you should book a full-service resort to enjoy your beach time.

Da Nang
There are many beautiful beaches in Da Nang, which makes it one of the most loved tourist destinations by the Vietnamese people. In the center of Da Nang, My Khe beach is very beautiful, but it is a busy public beach with many visitors. If you want a quieter area, the private beaches in the 5-star resorts near Non Nuoc Beach and Bac My An Beach are really attractive.
Hoi An
An Bang and Ha My beaches in Hoi An are recommended, especially if you are on a family holiday. These beaches are not too far from the center of Hoi An or Da Nang so you can combine your beach holiday with other activities. In Hoi An, you can go on a tour to Cham island in one day, the climate is also very favorable. If you go to South Hoi An, there is Nam Hoi An beach, where the Vinpearland complex is located, which includes 5-star hotel services, leisure, aquarium, safari…

Nha Trang
Nha Trang is one of Vietnam's charming beach towns, and it has all the elements that favor the development of tourism. It is blessed with stunning beaches with soft sand and clear waters, making it ideal for relaxation and water activities like swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Beyond the beach, there are opportunities for a glimpse into Vietnamese culture through its temples, pagodas, and local markets. The Po Nagar Cham Towers are a notable historical site.
