Therefore, if you want to escape very cold air in winter or hot air in summer, you should plan your holidays to Vietnam. We have 4 seasons in Vietnam divide to 2 separate area: north and south. In the north of Vietnam, 4 seasons include spring, summer, autumn, winter; in the south, we have wet and dry seasons; the central is combined between south and north.
Spring usually start from March to May, summer from June to August, autumn from September to November, winter from December to February next year. Vietnam is a tropical country so winter affected by monsoons which originate from Siberia, China and Russia. So the air is not low as Australian temperature, normally from 9 to 15 degree Celsius. But summer is really hot for people who live in temperate zones such as Australia or Europe. For this reason, travelers from Australia usually choose winter time to travel Vietnam. But if you have free time in summer (winter in Australia) or want to escape winter in Australia. So you should try to travel during summer in Vietnam.
