temperature is 23?C, in Ho Chi Minh City
it is 26?C, and in Hue it is 25?C.
There are two distinguishable seasons.
The cold season occurs from November to
April and the hot season from May to

Vietnam is almost unnoticeable,
averaging 3?C. The most noticeable
variations are found in the northern
provinces where differences of 12?C have
been observed. There are essentially
four distinct seasons, which are most
evident in the northern provinces. |
