1. Nha Trang weather by seasson
Nha Trang maintains a stable temperature pattern throughout the year, typically ranging from 26 - 30°C. The first half of the year tends to be warmer, with daytime temperatures often climbing to 28 - 33°C under clear skies, while the later months bring slightly cooler conditions at around 24 - 28°C, accompanied by occasional rain.
In the year, Nha Trang will have two distinct seasons: the wet season and the dry season. Each season will have its interesting characteristics and be suitable for different activities.
1.1. Dry season (from January to August)
The dry season usually begins in January and ends in late August. Especially, from January to May in Nha Trang, it rains less; the sun is not too harsh; the air is quite cool.
With clear skies and calm seas, this is the perfect time to experience the best of Nha Trang. Visitors can immerse themselves in crystal-clear waters at Doc Let beach, explore vibrant coral reefs through snorkeling and diving around Hon Mun Island, or embark on island-hopping adventures to Hon Chong Island and Hon Tre Island. It’s also an ideal season to unwind at beachfront resorts, enjoy sunset moments by the sea, or spend a full day at coastal entertainment complexes - fully embracing Nha Trang’s signature seaside lifestyle.

1.2. Wet season (from September to mid-December)
The wet season in Nha Trang is quite short. It usually lasts from September to mid-December. The temperature does not drop too low, the rainfall accounts for 80% of the annual rainfall. During this time, there are fewer visitors coming here so it is not as crowded and noisy as in the peak season.
However, Nha Trang is still enjoyable in the wet season. Tourists will be stunned by the quiet and peaceful beauty of the sea. The sea in Nha Trang turns gray in the rain at first, but it will soon become picturesquely beautiful under the rainbow. You can sit quietly in a cafe, sipping a cup of hot tea and watching the rain fall on the sea. The charming, serene scene of the Nha Trang beach will make you get lost in a place of great nostalgia.
Besides, you can also visit the National Oceanography Museum, Dam Market, Long Son Pagoda, etc. In case you want to find a year-round attraction in Nha Trang, VinWonders Nha Trang is a place not to be missed.
This is a must-see tourist attraction on Hon Tre Island for anyone visiting Nha Trang. The complex is 50 hectares in size and includes amusement parks, hotel accommodations, and first-rate resorts with first-rate amenities.

2. Must-try seasonal foods in Nha Trang
If you visit Nha Trang during the wet or dry season, you will be able to not only admire the beautiful nature and explore the ocean world but also to try many delicious Nha Trang dishes. Here are four seasonal foods that you must try in Nha Trang.
- Grilled Fermented Pork Roll (Nem Nuong)
Grilled fermented pork roll is a delectable specialty that visitors to Nha Trang should not miss. Nem nuong is served with rice paper and a variety of fresh vegetables. The sauce for nem nuong is meticulously prepared, as it is an important component that enhances the flavor of the dish.
There are approximately 20 restaurants that serve this special dish on many main streets in Nha Trang, including Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Le Loi, Hoang Van Thu streets, etc… Among them, Dang Van Quyen and Ngoc Tien are the most popular restaurants.
- Rice vermicelli with grilled fish and jellyfish (Bun cha ca)
Your trip to Nha Trang would be incomplete unless you tried this type of noodle soup. Although bun cha ca is processed simply, it has brought the natural flavor of the sea to diners.
The bouillon for the dish is made entirely of fish with only a few spices. Parboil the rice vermicelli and place it in the bowl, then top with jellyfish slices and grilled chopped fish. Then pour the bouillon into the bowl. Rice vermicelli with grilled fish and jellyfish tastes best when it is hot. The combination of crunchy jellyfish and the natural sweetness of the bouillon creates a delicious dish. When you enjoy this dish, make sure to include raw vegetables, chili, and lemon.
- Jellyfish vermicelli (Bun Sua)
The jellyfish vermicelli of Nha Trang is a signature dish of this coastal region. It is popular among both locals and tourists. The dish includes meat, shrimp, crab, grilled chopped fish, and a tasty shrimp paste. Instead of meat, the broth is frequently made with fish. Thanks to this, the jellyfish vermicelli has a sweet and delicious flavor that you will fall in love with.
Jellyfish vermicelli is especially delicious in the summer because jellyfish helps to cool down the inner body heat. You can easily enjoy a delicious bowl of jellyfish vermicelli at 170 Bach Dang, 6 Han Thuyen, Ninh Hoa Rice Noodles on Yet Kieu Street, and so on.
- Can cake (Banh can)
Banh can - a street food so popular in Nha Trang. It is made from rice flour pancakes cooked in round pans over coals with your choice of egg, fresh or dried meat, and seafood. The pancakes come with fatty pork meatballs and shredded green mangoes on top. It is served with a bowl of fish sauce, fried onions, and mango chunks.
Can cake can be found all over Nha Trang so you should have no trouble finding it. You can eat it in the morning at the stalls on Hoang Van Thu Street, or in the afternoon at Thap Ba, on Nguyen Trai and Thanh Hien streets.
