Best Time to Visit in Da Nang
Part of the Da Nang travel guide — see more in More Da Nang Guides.
Da Nang has a dry season and a rainy season, and its pattern is different from Hanoi's and Ho Chi Minh City's. Choose your month by the sea and the rain.
February to April
Spring is warm and pleasant, about 22–30°C, with little rain and a calm sea from about March. It is a great time for the beach, the Marble Mountains and the Hai Van Pass. Tet, the Lunar New Year, falls on 6 February 2027; many shops close for several days and transport is busy.
May to August
This is the peak beach season: hot, about 30–37°C, sunny, with a flat sea. Vietnamese families fill the city in June and July. The Da Nang International Fireworks Festival is usually held on weekend nights from about early June to mid-July over the Han River, so book hotels early for those weeks.
September to December
The rain begins in September. October and November are the wettest months, with storms and some floods; beach days and boat trips to the Cham Islands are often cancelled, and Ba Na Hills can be in cloud. December is cooler and still showery, and hotels are cheaper.
January
January is cool for Da Nang, about 19–25°C, with grey days, light rain and a rough sea. It is fine for food, cafés and day trips to Hoi An, but not the best month for swimming.
