June is summer in northern Vietnam, the hot dry season in the Central Coast of Vietnam, the rainy season in the Central Highlands and South of Vietnam. It does not happen often but there may be typhoons hitting the North of Vietnam in June.

There are usually heat strikes in northern Vietnam, especially the Red River Delta (including Hanoi) and part of the Northwest (Hoa Binh, Yen Bai, Lao Cai). There are occasional short-lived heavy rains in the North in June.
