General Weather Patterns in Vietnam in November
The Northeasterly Wind is the prevalent wind which affects all of Vietnam’s sea area and most of Vietnam’s inland regions.
All of the North of Vietnam is to have prevalent Northeasterly Wind :
- If the wind blows along the coast before hitting northern Vietnam, then there may be drizzle in Northern Vietnam with cool temperatures ;
- If the rain blows mostly through the continent, which is usually the case, then it is dry weather with mildsunshine in the North ; the mountainous regions turn chilly.
The Northeasterly Wind causes long-lasting heavy rain in the Central Coast of Vietnam due to the terrain of this region.
The Northeasterly Wind may be strong enough in November to affect the Central Highlands and Southern Vietnam which causes dry weather and pleasant temperatures in these two regions mostly. Sometimes the Southerwesterly Wind is still active or that there is a strong typhoon in the Central Coast of Vietnam then the Central Highlands and Southern Vietnam may have rainy weather, but this does not usually happens.

1/ Hiking Tours, Mountain Trekking Tours
November is generally a good time for adventure tours in Northern Vietnam, except for the period the region has a new spell of the cool Northeasterly Wind blowing inland from the sea which may last for 2-3 days each. This wind, which can also blows through the continents only before hitting Vietnam, then it is just dry and beautiful weather.
It is fall in the North and the weather is mostly favorable : dry, breezy. Those embark on mountain trekking tours are to be awarded with beautiful clouds on high mountain peaks. In November maple trees on high mountains to the far north of Vietnam change to yellow or red colors which are just breathtaking !
November is not a great time for hiking tours in the Central Highlands given it can still be the rainy season. Part of the Central Highlands which are located to the eastern side of the Truong Son Range is still to share the weather patterns with the Central Coast of Vietnam, meaning it is still rainy season in November. Those places located to the west of the Truong Son Range can enjoy dry weather or rainy weather depending on other influencing factors of a specific year.
2/ Adventure Tours
Northern Vietnam is a great place for general adventure tours in November. Traveling in the North this month you’ll get pleasant temperatures, breezes and mild sunshine.

But it is mostly favorable time to travel in Southern Vietnam still, no matter if it rains or not, because the rain, if any, in Southern Vietnam mostly come at the end of a day and last for half an hour or an hour only.
