Hanoi in the early days of years welcomes you with poetic drizzle and breeze flowing through your hair. That’s also Hanoi weather in the winter! The cold climate seems to obstruct people from reaching Hanoi, but absolutely not! It is even more interesting for visitors to discover Hanoi where they still see some heating souls somewhere.

Without the doubt, January is the coldest time in Hanoi in particular and Northern Vietnam in general. It lasts from the beginning of November (former year) to the end of March (later year). During this period, drizzle, cold breeze, and murky clouds become the classic “beauty”  once referring to Hanoi. The average temperature of Hanoi in January is about 14°C - 21°C, sometimes below 10°C, which is quite ordinary with some countries in Europe and American, but please note that you should never forget to bring winter garments when you visit Hanoi, the city located in a tropical monsoon country of Vietnam. Just have the best preparation for your journey to this country in the mentioned period.

 

We hope that the above little weather problem will not be able to stop your exploration to the 1000-year-old capital city, where you surely will be surprised by crowded streets, smiles, talking and the friendly hugs in spite of cold weather. Soaking in the street atmosphere, excursing around the small ways, observing the simple life around you and enjoying warm-making cuisines, especially hot pot will be memorable experiences for your travel in Hanoi in the new-year time of the S-shaped country.
