Phu Quoc in December

One of the driest months. The sea is calm and the sky is clear, which makes it the best time for a beach holiday. It is year-end, so flights and rooms fill and prices rise; book ahead.

It was a hot month: 31°C by day and 24°C after dark. 6 rain days in a typical December: noticeable, but most days stayed dry. Averages hide a lot here: one year saw 1, another 12.

With 28 days above 30°C on average, most of the month felt like high summer. Rain days averaged 18 mm each, so when it rained it rained properly.
