Hanoi in September

Rain continues but eases toward the end of the month. September 2 is National Day, and in some years the holiday runs longer. The Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th of the eighth lunar month falls in September or early October, filling the Old Quarter with mooncakes and lanterns.

Days averaged 32°C and nights 25°C. Midday was for air conditioning, a cold drink or a long lunch out of the sun. Rain came so often (19 days on average) that dry stretches were short and worth using. A visitor in 2006 met 9 rain days; one in 2020 met 26. The average of 19 hid that gap.

24 days past 30°C made it a month for early starts and a long lunch indoors.
