The
monsoon climate also influences to the changes of the tropical
humidity. In general, in Vietnam there are two seasons, the cold season
occurs from November to April and the hot season from May to October. The
difference in temperature between the two seasons in southern is almost
unnoticeable, averaging 3ºC. The most noticeable variations are found
in the northern where differences of 12ºC have been observed. There are
essentially four distinct seasons, which are most evident in the
northern provinces(from Hai Van Pass toward to the north): Spring,
Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
Every year there are 100 rainy days
and the average rainfall is 1,500 to 2,000mm. The humidity ranges around
80%. The sunny hours are 1,500 to 2,000 and the average solar radiation
of 100kcal/cm2 in a year.
Because Vietnam is
affected by the monsoon, that why the average temperature is lower than
the other countries which are located in the same longitude in Asia. The
annual average temperatures range from 22oC to 27oC. In comparing with these countries, the temperature in winter is colder and in summer is less hotter in Vietnam.
Under
influence of monsoon, and further because of the complicated
topography, the climate in Vietnam always changes in one year, between
the years, or between the areas (from North to South and from low to
high). The climate in Vietnam is also under disadvantage of weather,
such as typhoons (advantage there are 6-10 storms and tropical low
atmosphere in year, floods and droughts are threaten the life and the
agriculture of Vietnam).
