Climate
As mentioned earlier, Vietnam covers two different climatic
zones - the moderate climate zone in the North of the country
and the tropical climate zone in the South.
In the moderate northern zone we distinguish two seasons,
winter from November to April, and summer from May
to October.
In the tropical South of the country we distinguish, like
anywhere else in Southeast Asia, among three seasons: the cold
season from November to January, the hot season from
February to April or May and the rainy season from May
or June to October.
During the Southeast Asian rainy season from June to the beginning
of November Vietnam is, like the Philippines and the South China
coast around Hongkong, regularly struck by typhoons.
