It is quite a nice time to visit Hanoi. The rains have started, and though you may occasionally get wet, temperature-wise it is still warm and pleasant with an average temperature of 28-30°C (82-86°F). At this time, you will find wonderful green landscapes and fewer crowds than at peak tourist seasons. If you prefer to visit during dry weather, you might elect to go in late fall (October to December) or early spring (February to April).
This could be a good-or-bad month for Hanoi, depending on one's preferences. Weather-wise, July is still situated in summertime, known for its sweltering humid heat with a usual free-climate ranging from 30 degrees Celsius upward and receiving considerable high humidity levels. Additionally, it ushers in the rainy season with regular rains; visitants would have an experience with frequent downpours-some off that very hard. Yet, showers themselves are ususally short, usually allowing respite from evening heat after the rains are gone.
Nonetheless, July has its perks should you not mind the weather. It's a wonderful time to blend with Hanoi's street life and open-air activities while there would be fewer tourists compared to the main tourist season-the cooler, drier months running from October to December. Adding to that, greenery surrounding lakes and ponds in their blooming seasons exhibit stunning attractions.
July can be one of the very best months to visit Hanoi due to pleasant weather and less frenetic tourism after May and June. Here is an overview of the things to watch out for while planning the trip in July:
1. Climate: Hanoi's climate can be said to be among the hot and humid sorts that manifest during the monsoon, similar to most parts of Asia during July. Daytime temperatures are averaging between 28-30°C (82-86°F). Nighttime temperatures rarely drop lower than 20°C (68°F). However, be prepared for occasional heat waves, with the humidity levels hovering around seventy to seventy-five percent, because of the city's close proximity to Lake Namazi.
2. Instead of keeping away, tourists need to think that even July is in the peak season in Vietnam, and thus many activities and attractions still cater to ensure endless fun during the time. Hoan Kiem Lake, the Old Quarter, Temple of Literature, and the Imperial Palaces are well known places to visit. From museums to galleries and cultural events of whirling interest in this month, opportunities for visitors to dive into Vietnamese history, art, and culture are plentiful.
