The north is great that time of year, while down here we will still have rain, but mainly in the afternoon. Biggest problem that time of year is Typhoons, so you should keep an eye on the forecasts

It is the rainny season. But it takes about short time for rainning. Vietnamese has a song like "Fair weather and rainy days alternate". If you need a hotel, I could help you.

Where exactly are you going to visit? The North or the South?

If North. Yes, you should go at the end of August as it will be Autumn and the weather is cooler then. It's better to go on September and October (globalization lengthens the heat of Summer :D).

If South, don't worry as it is always warm or hot all-year round. The weather is nice there, not much of humidity.

The best time to travel to Vietnam, in my opinion, is September and October for both regions. Good luck to your trip!

I prefer to visit Nam in Feb. It's not so hot nor not much rain. Bring rain gear and a hat along with sun block SPF 30 as the sun at 8 A.M. is strong enough to really burn.
