Weather in Hoi An in February

Prime time. February is about as good as Hoi An gets. The heat itself is manageable at 26.3 °C, but 86% humidity is what you will actually feel.

February is the highest-scoring month of the twelve. The nearest rival is January, and the month at the other end of the year is August.

Rain falls on only 6 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Natural fibres and a second shirt for the day. At 86% nothing dries, including you.

What the averages hide

The averages here are honest — no hidden extremes worth planning around. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest February day reached 34.4 °C and the coldest night fell to 14.9 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 29 mm — roughly 107% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. February rainfall has ranged from 1 mm to 124 mm across the twenty years measured — a 123 mm spread around an average of 27 mm. The average is real but almost no individual February looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 7.6 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity at 86% is the real story though — it is the number that decides how the day feels, not the 26.3 °C.

How February sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 24.8 °C in January, 26.3 here, 28.6 in March. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much. Rain has already shifted: 7 days fewer than January had.

Daylight in February

Hoi An sits close enough to the equator that daylight barely moves all year — 11.6 hours in February, against a range of just 1.9 hours across the whole calendar. Sunrise and sunset land at roughly the same time whenever you come.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 24.1 °C in February — warm enough to stay in as long as you like. The sea peaks at 29.9 °C in June and bottoms out at 24.1 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

February in Hoi An versus nearby

If Hoi An is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Qui Nhon is a better bet in February — within a degree on temperature, 3 days less rain. Ubon Ratchathani is the weaker option in February — 9.3 °C warmer, 5 days less rain.

So: February is the answer for Hoi An. If it is booked out or priced out, January is the next best thing at 8 points behind, and August is the month to keep off the shortlist.
