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.
