Weather in Nha Trang in November

Shoulder season. November is shoulder season in Nha Trang — cheaper, quieter, and a genuine gamble. You should expect rain on 22 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

November ranks 6 of 12 in Nha Trang: past the worst of the year but short of February, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 22 of the month's 30 days, 8 of them heavy. At that frequency a wet-weather backup is not a contingency, it is the itinerary — book the indoor things first and treat the clear days as the bonus. Natural fibres and a second shirt for the day. At 85% nothing dries, including you.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: it never really gets hot: not one day in an average November reaches 30 °C; the day barely swings — 1.4 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 29.3 °C and the coldest night fell to 22.6 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 165 mm — roughly 54% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 64 mm in the driest year against 729 mm in the wettest, around an average of 304 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind sits around 20.4 km/h — a steady breeze rather than a nuisance, and welcome on the warmer days, and humidity at 85% is the real story though — it is the number that decides how the day feels, not the 27.4 °C.

How November sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 28.4 °C in October, 27.4 here, 26.1 in December. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much. Rain is the thing that moves: December brings 5 days less of it, so pushing the dates later buys drier weather.

Daylight in November

Nha Trang sits close enough to the equator that daylight barely moves all year — 11.6 hours in November, against a range of just 1.4 hours across the whole calendar. Sunrise and sunset land at roughly the same time whenever you come.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 27.2 °C in November — warm enough that the water offers no relief from the heat. The sea peaks at 29.3 °C in May and bottoms out at 25.3 °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

Off season. The genuine off season: cheapest by a distance, with the caveat that some tours and restaurants close entirely.

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

November in Nha Trang versus nearby

If Nha Trang is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Qui Nhon is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day less rain. Vũng Tàu is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.4 °C warmer, 5 days less rain.

So: November is a compromise. February is 34 points better and is what Nha Trang is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
