Central Vietnam weather is dry and hot with Southwest wind. With a long coastline, the weather is characterized by cool ocean breeze. Because the land area is limited by Truong Son Mountain range, the region has two distinct seasons: dry and rainy.

In North Centre Coast  the area consists of six provinces in the north of Hai Van Pass  These provinces stretch from the east to the west, forming a narrow central part. The narrowest area in the region is about 50 km wide (in Quang Binh Province). North Central Coast is characterized by mountain ranges in the west, especially northern part of Truong Son Mountain range (Annamite Range) with rugged terrain, and plain areas with an area of over 6000 sq. km. Among those plains, delta in Thanh Hoa, the largest delta in Central Vietnam, obtains sediment from Ma River and Chu River, accounting for nearly half of the area. As being located near Northern Vietnam most, weather in North Central Coast is often affected by the weather in Northern Vietnam. In winters, the region witnesses the northeast monsoon that carries steam from the ocean. Thus, cold and rainy weather is typical in the part in winters. Yet, the difference between the weather in Central Vietnam and that in Northern Vietnam in winters is that winter in the former is wet, while the latter is dry. In summers, North Central Coast is described with dry and hot weather, as Foehn wind from Laos affects this region. Temperature in summers may reach 400C in the peak, while the humidity is quite low.
