June is the climax of the summer with consecutive heat wave; temperature risen at high level; stifling and muggy air in Hanoi as well as in the North of Vietnam.

However, in July, temperatures in Hanoi are still quite high and just lower about 1-2 degree Celsius than the temperature in June.

In July, there still appear some intense heat wave, the highest temperature may be up to 38-40 degree Celsius and the popular temperature are from 35 to 37 degree Celsius. But it also begins to appear more rainfall than in June in Hanoi and in the North of Vietnam.   

In fact the rainy season is not clear in the North but the intensity of rain begins in August and Northern people often call it is “Ngau” rain – sudden and brief rain. 

In July, a lot of young people from Hanoi go to the islands in the area of Ha Long Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay such as Quan Lan Island, Co To Island, Cat Ba Island of go to Nha Trang, Ha Giang... to avoid the heat and bath in the sea.

July is also the time when tropical storms begin to appear more on the Pacific region after crossing the Philippines and often move at high speed to the West- Northwest, land more in Gulf of Tonkin as well as in the North of Vietnam. 

From August to the end of year, storms tend to land in the Middle and in the South of Vietnam. Storm can engender heavy rains in Hanoi but it just lasts about 2-3 days (read more: Rainy season in Hanoi). The major roads may be flooded, congested traffic.
