February

#1 of 12 months

Best match

The driest month — warm, sunny, and still calm enough to enjoy the Old Town without peak crowds.

  • Only 30mm of rain: the driest month in Hoi An's calendar — beach days at An Bang Beach are reliable for the first time
  • 8.2 daily sunshine hours and 26°C highs: ideal for cycling the countryside and exploring the Ancient Town on foot
Hoi An June — colourful lanterns in orange, blue, and white light up the night market as tourists crowd below

June

#9 of 12 months

Worth considering

Western summer peak — the most visited month, and ironically not the best weather.

  • Nine daily sunshine hours: An Bang Beach fully viable and the sun reliably appears each morning
  • 34°C and minimal rain (68mm) still acceptable if you are disciplined about mornings and evenings only

February trade-offs

  • International visitor numbers building toward the March peak — popular tailor shops book out 2–3 days ahead
  • Some Tet-period closures affect restaurants and family-run tailors for 3–5 days around the holiday
  • Humidity at 82% means evenings are warmer than the temperature suggests

June trade-offs

  • Peak Western summer crowds: the Old Town is at its most congested and tailors are fully booked for days ahead
  • 34°C heat with 77% humidity makes afternoon outdoor activity genuinely miserable — most people hide in cafés from noon to 4pm
  • Hotel prices at their second highest of the year despite this being far from the optimal weather window
