March averages for Hanoi (Láng). Source

March warms up across the country — a great time for a north-to-south trip, with the south dry and hot and Ha Long Bay calm. Light layers and breathable clothes.

☀️ By day

Light layers for the damp drizzle (mưa phùn) in Hanoi.

🌙 Evening

A thin jacket for evenings around 20°C.
