↑April is the joint-best weather month in Hanoi: 26°C, 5.5 sunshine hours, and light rather than heavy rain — the Old Quarter is comfortable to explore for a full day without the humidity and heat of summer
↑Crowds are at their annual low outside the peak seasons; the Ngoc Son Temple at Hoan Kiem Lake and the Temple of Literature can be visited without congestion
↑The Hanoi street food scene operates at full strength in ideal outdoor temperatures: bún chả, phở, and bánh mì from pavement stalls in the Old Quarter are best enjoyed at exactly this temperature

↓Rainfall increases to 88mm — light but present; afternoon showers are possible; carry a small umbrella or poncho
↓April is starting to become more popular as word of the good weather spreads; hotels fill faster than in February-March and prices begin edging upward
↓The heat is building toward summer levels by late April — daytime sightseeing between 11am and 3pm can already feel warm
