My sister-in-law is from the south, her family is from the mid region, and my brother lived in Hanoi for a little while. All I have heard from any of them about the weather is how terrible it is.
I get that there are a few parts of Vietnam where it’s not oppressively hot and humid for a bit of the year, but “the weather” being a reason to move back year round seems suspect.
I’m not saying that there are zero people in the world who love the weather there, but if you compare the cities in Vietnam with the “best” weather they don’t come close to comparing with a city with good weather in the continental US—much less with a tropical paradise like Hawaii.
Compare the average humidity, temperature, average rainy days, percent of clear days etc… between Da Nang and Honolulu. It’s not even remotely close.
- SXX 4y agoI guess we just have different perspective since I'm not from US. I mostly compare Vietnam to Russia (where I was born), UK (lived there for a while) and Turkey since I live there at moment. Suppose I need to come to visit US and Hawaii to judge it, but honestly I loved living in Vietnam between October and May. And I'll choose it any time over London. Simple fact that in Vietnam I can wear very much the same closes most of the year and don't need heating in winter is great.
- simple-thoughts 4y agoComparing any place to Hawaii is not really fair. The Hawaiian island chain is almost unique in how far north it is while still being a tropical island chain of decent size.
- sarchertech 4y agoThe OP said close to an island tropical heaven, which is why I picked Hawaii. Compare any objective weather metric between Da Nang and San Diego then. Unless you just like the rain, it’s not even close.
