Hoi An has a **tropical monsoon** climate with hot, humid weather for much of the year and a pronounced wet season. Summers are very warm and moist, while the cooler season is milder but still humid; the city’s current overcast, 31.05°C conditions are consistent with its warm coastal climate. Rainfall is concentrated in the late-year monsoon period, so visitors and residents should expect frequent rain and high humidity.
