27 Green Season June – September The arrival of June brings the rains and beginning of the ‘green season’. Most days, you’ll likely experience short bursts of rain either early in the morning or mid-afternoon. Travelling at this time brings numerous advantages, most strikingly evidenced in the sheer beauty and lushness of the landscape. This region bursts into vibrancy as colourful flowers bloom, rice paddies turn a vivid green, and tropical rainforests come alive. Generally, the green season is often less travelled, meaning fewer crowds across Southeast Asia’s most celebrated landmarks. It’s during this period that our unique 10-Day cruise itinerary (pay for only 8 days) operates from August to September. Refer to pages 32-39 for details. Southeast Asia Autumn October – November For much of Vietnam, October represents the conclusion of the green season, with temperatures dropping to an average of 26°C. However, in Central Vietnam (Hue and Hoi An), the rains begin here first during this time. Generally, for these months, the climate promises to be ideal for visiting Hanoi and Halong Bay, in northern Vietnam. Cambodia’s rain continues into October, with slightly higher temperatures than its neighbour, with averages of 27°C. Representing the transition from the green to dry season for much of the region, expect mainly clear skies, explorations in relative comfort and fewer crowds. The Mekong Delta is now bursting with life and basking in sunshine, whilst Cambodia’s climate isn’t as humid as in months prior.
