General Weather Patterns in Vietnam in April
April is spring in northern Vietnam with pleasant temperatures mostly (22-31oC), the dry and hot season in the Central Coast of Vietnam, in Southern Vietnam. In April, the Central Highlands has dry weather, the places on low altitude have hot temperatures and the remainder of the region has pleasant temperatures.
The prevalent winds in Vietnam in April are the Northeasterly Wind, Southeasterly Wind, Westerly Wind and Southwesterly Wind.

It is more likely in April that if there is a spell of Northeasterly Wind, then it is dry in the North with pleasant temperatures.
Most of the Northwest of Vietnam comes under the influence of the Westerly Wind or foehn wind from Laos which makes the air dry and the temperatures high (35-37oC): Hoa Binh, Son La, Dien Bien, Lai Chau, Lao Cai.
The Central Coast of Vietnam is to come under the impact of the Westerly Wind which blows from Laos and which is a foehn wind, hence dry air and warm or hot temperatures with the high of 36-38oC.
The Central Highlands and inland of Southern Vietnam are to be under influence by the Southwesterly Wind which, in April, comes from the Bengal Bay and which blow through these two regions after blowing through the continent including India, Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia... In April, the Southwesterly Wind is a foehn wind and the Central Highlands and Southern Vietnam are to have dry weather. The temperatures are mostly hot in Southern Vietnam and in places on low altitudes in the Central Highlands. Most of the Central Highlands are to enjoy dry weather with pleasant temperatures thanks to high altitudes.
