| Hanoi temperature in the end of summer |
In Hanoi, the weather and temperature, the amount of rain and climate are unlike any other areas in Vietnam. Although Hanoi is the centre of the north of Vietnam, but Hanoi temperature is obviously different to sub-areas such as Sapa in Lao Cai, Dong Van and Meo Vac in Ha Giang, Cao Bang and Ha Long Bay, Hai Phong, Trang An in Ninh Binh, ect...
However, Hanoi climate is typical for the Red River Delta.
In Hanoi, the prominent feature about climate and temperature is tropical monsoon climate (in summer, the weather is hot and sunny. There are lots of rains. In winter, the weather is cold, it is hardly rain and the humidity rapidly decrease)
In summer, the radiation of the sun in Hanoi is so strong that the temperature rise swiftly.

However, because of the strong effect of monsoon, the beginning and ending time of seasons does not remain the same each year, so the division of months is only relative. That is why in Hanoi, some years, winter comes early than other years.
Until now, the lowest temperature in Hanoi which has been recorded is 2.7 degree Celsius. And the highest temperature in Hanoi has been recorded is 43.7 degree Celsius. Morever, due to the influence of urban and greenhouse effects, on summer heat waves,you might feel that the actual temperature is always higher than the one which you could measure, it might reach to 50 degree Celsius.
