1-May-2019 It is the International Larbor Day today, public holidays in Vietnam. The whole of Vietnam enjoys most cloudy and/or rainy a day with lovely temperatures (below 34oC) mostly. The rains at this time of the year are quite short-lived and the weather conditions are definitely great for a great holiday. For those in the Central Highlands and South of Vietnam, welcome to the rainy season! Yes, the weather pattern has definitely taken a change to be that typical of the rainy season with mild sunshine, clouds and daily short-lived rains. It is fair enough as the region suffered a heat strike for several days with high temperatures, strong sun and high UV (12). All has given way to perfect weather now. Happy Holidays!
