The Climate of Nha Trang
As some other resort towns, Nha Trang stands out due to its favorable climate. The probability of natural calamities here is lower than in many other places, the humidity is not so high, and consequently, the place has a bigger tourist inflow. The main difference between Nha Trang and other Vietnamese towns is a short rainy period – up to three months.
In Nha Trang, they distinguish two seasons: dry – from the beginning of a year and until the end of the summer, and rainy, including the autumn period and the beginning of the winter. The biggest amount of rainfall is in December, before this month rains are short and happen either in the evening time or by day. The resort owes its comfortable temperature to its lucky location: from the land side, it is defended by mountains, from the sea – by a chain of islands.

The day and night air temperature in Nha Trang in January, C°.
If you’ve decided to visit Vietnam in the second winter month, you should take into account certain specialties of such a travel.
First, during all you stay, the weather is going to be gray, with all the shades of this color. The sun will break through gray clouds very seldom, though it won’t affect the temperature in any way. The average temperature level during this time is 26 C°.
But you shouldn’t be careless, so, for being on the safe side, it’s better to take with you not only summer things but also some warm clothing (light jackets, trousers, and sweaters). Having them, you’ll be able to walk comfortably in the town streets during evenings.
Second, try to book an individual room well in advance. And one of the main things is that you should morally prepare yourself to shell out for even most primitive services because the Vietnamese are trying to earn some extra money on the eve of their Vietnamese New Year (called TET) and make prices record-high.
Some widely spread illusions about opening the swimming season in January should be dispelled at once. In fact, it storms quite often during this time so you won’t be able to have a swim – the waves will knock you down.
The water temperature is still low and the air doesn’t make you feel like swimming. The weather is affected by the preceding steady rainy season that leaves some coolness behind. Furthermore, the January winds become a serious stumbling stone for a safe sea bathing. If it is the case, you should give preference to the beaches of Nha Trang’s surroundings – “Doc Let” or “Bay-Bay”.

But during diving nobody will fell cold, that’s why most travelers prefer the pool to the sea.
The absence of a possibility to swim in Vietnam aquatic area can be made for with the appearance of an ideal tan on your body due to your long stay on the southern coast.
In a good weather, you can visit Yang Bay sanctuary for a change and feed crocodiles there or visit “Hon Ba” sanctuary, situated on a mountain with the same name near Nha Trang. An impenetrable darkness prevails there and a continuous line of impassable forests and misty horizons extends from edge to edge.
But the main reason for visiting Vietnam in February is the Vietnamese New Year called Tet Nguyen Dan. They also prefer to call it “A Holiday of Spring” and their Christmas tree – a blooming branch of a peach or a tangerine tree – symbolizes prosperity.
