Vietnam will see fewer storms in November because a very strong El Niño continues, and the weather will be hotter and rainier in some regions. Knowing these changes can help you plan travel, work and daily life.

According to the National Center for Hydro‑Meteorological Forecasting, the East Vietnam Sea normally experiences about 1.5 storms in November, with roughly 0.9 reaching the Vietnamese coast. This November, the strong El Niño is expected to reduce both storms and tropical depressions over the sea.

Weather experts also forecast that the sea will stay free of storms during the first half of November. This means the region will likely experience no storm landfalls in that period.

The centre predicts average nationwide temperatures in November to be 1‑2 °C above the long‑term average, while cold‑air outbreaks will be weaker than usual. Rainfall will be moderate to heavy mainly in the central and southern regions; northern Vietnam should receive 15‑30 % more rain than average, and other areas are expected to get 20‑40 % below average.

Overall, November’s weather will be characterized by fewer storms, slightly higher temperatures, and uneven rainfall across the country. Keeping these trends in mind can help you adjust plans for travel, work and everyday activities.
