How extreme does Ho Chi Minh City's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Ho Chi Minh City has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.

Based on 34 years of daily weather observations (1991–present), from the Tan Son Nhat Intl station 2 km away. Updated through August 2025 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.

How hot and cold it gets, month by month

The shaded band is the normal range of daily temperatures for each month. The dots show the most extreme it has ever been — so you can see how far beyond a normal day the records really sit.

Ho Chi Minh City's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — April's 104°F is about 8°F beyond a normal hot afternoon. Its record cold is just as far below a normal winter night — the dots mark how rare each extreme really is.

In plain terms

In a normal year, Ho Chi Minh City's warmest days reach the mid-90s°F and its coldest nights drop to the low 70s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 104°F and as low as 53°F. A single day has delivered over 12 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
