Best time to visit Cần Thơ
Vietnam · 20-year averages
January is the best month in Cần Thơ, scoring 73 out of 100, with May the weakest at 35. The 38-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. Only 2 months come close to the top, which makes the timing narrow.
April is the warmest month at 36.9 °C and September the coolest at 29.9 °C — a 7 °C spread across the year. 262 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season.
There is a real wet season here. June to October carry the rain — up to 26 wet days in a month — while January, February, March, April and December drop as low as 2. That 24-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Cần Thơ, and it moves further than the temperature does.
Daylight barely moves: about 12.7 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.
The three strongest months are January, December, February. The one to think twice about is May. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
