Hoi An Ancient Town, a peaceful city along the poetic Hoai River, is famous for its moss-covered stone streets, the harmonious blend of Eastern and Western architecture, and small charming cafés that reflect the soul of Vietnam. Beyond its appeal to domestic travelers, Hoi An continues to captivate international visitors with its romantic riverside scenery, rich cultural heritage, and distinctive local cuisine.
So, is Hoi An during the transitional months September and October, an ideal time to visit? With changing weather, a cooler atmosphere, and fewer tourists, this is the perfect opportunity to fully enjoy the ancient town’s serene charm without the usual crowds.
To make your journey complete, Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort becomes the perfect choice, a place where you can explore Hoi An while relaxing in a green, peaceful setting with luxurious amenities and heartfelt service.
Hoi An weather in September and October
September and October mark the transition period in Hoi An, with average temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C. The humidity is high but not too oppressive. Rain still occurs, but usually in short and scattered showers, accompanied by gentle southwest breezes. This is also the time when there are fewer tourists compared to summer, giving the landscape a lush, tranquil vibe, an ideal atmosphere for relaxation.
A small drawback is that you should prepare a raincoat or umbrella, especially if you plan outdoor activities. However, Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort ensures guests can fully enjoy their stay regardless of the weather.
