Phu Quoc in January Dry season in full swing, with clear skies and a calm sea. December to February is the busiest stretch of the year, so rooms fill early and prices are high. This is the most reliable time for a beach holiday.
Highs averaged 31°C and lows stayed at 24°C, so the heat hung on long after sunset. About 9 days a month saw rain, enough that a wet-weather plan was worth having. Averages hide a lot here: one year saw 3, another 16.
28 days past 30°C made it a month for early starts and a long lunch indoors. Mostly fine, light rain: about 4 mm per wet day, more mist than downpour.
