Climate chart - Can Tho
In Cần Thơ (or Cantho), there is a tropical climate, hot all year round, with a rainy season from May to November, due to the Southeast Asian monsoon, and a dry season from December to April.
The city is located in southern Vietnam, at 10 degrees north latitude, in the Mekong Delta area, and about 120 km (75 mi) southwest of Ho Chi Minh.
Winter, from December to February, is hot and sunny, even though it is a little less hot than in Ho Chi Minh. Unlike in central-northern Vietnam, there are no irruptions of cold air, in fact, on the coolest nights the temperature drops to 19/20 °C (66/68 °F).
From mid-February, the temperature rises further, and March to May is the hottest time of the year. In April and May, the temperature can reach 36/37 °C (97/99 °F).
From May to October is the monsoon period, with frequent and sometimes heavy rains, slightly lower temperatures and high humidity. Sometimes the rains can cause floods. In November, the monsoon rains become relatively rare, but typhoons can still pass.

Cần Thơ

In fact, Cần Thơ can be hit by typhoons, the tropical cyclones of the western Pacific. In southern Vietnam, typhoons generally occur from October 15 to December 20, with a maximum in early November.
In January, and again from mid-March to mid-April, some tropical depressions can occasionally form, generally off the central-southern coast of Vietnam, but they almost always dissipate over the sea before reaching the coast. However, they can cause abnormal waves. Anyway, sometimes they can reach the coast.

Best Time


To visit Cần Thơ you can choose the period from late December to late February, i.e. in the coolest, or rather less hot, and outside the typhoon season. In February, it is often already a little hotter than in January.
In December, the weather is often sunny and not too hot, but there is still the risk, albeit declining, of a tropical cyclone arriving.
In March and April it is still the dry season, but it is very hot.
For swimming, the sea is warm enough all year round.
