Enjoying Ho Chi Minh City in the Rain: Tips for a Perfect Rainy Day Experience

Hình ảnh
The question that is often asked is: how can one enjoy Ho Chi Minh City when they know they will have to deal with rain? Well, there is good news. The rain in Ho Chi Minh City is quite predictable during about 80 percent of the wet season. Different regions in Vietnam have different wet seasons, but in Ho Chi Minh City, you can expect an afternoon storm to roll in anytime after 2:00 pm. These storms, especially the heavy ones, usually only last for an hour or so before the skies clear up and everything returns to normal. Many locals simply plan their day around the rain. In fact, when the rain is most predictable, locals rarely take out their raincoats because they are able to stay indoors during the short periods of precipitation. However, this can also lead to major traffic congestion when everyone leaves work at the same time after the rain has passed. Commuters ride in the rain in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, May 25, 2020.
