Quy Nhon in September: the rains begin

Last updated: October 2026 · By Jack Ng

Quick answer: September is a mixed month. The first half is often still fine for the beach, but rainfall triples compared with August (about 230 mm over 16 days), and the sea gets rougher toward the end of the month. Go early in September, keep plans flexible and watch the forecast for tropical storms.

Weather in Quy Nhon in September

26–33°C, 231 mm of rain, about 16 rainy days.

What it was like for us: I stayed in early September 2026. Days were mostly cloudy with light rain, and the rain got much heavier in the evenings, so plan outdoor trips for the morning. (Jack Ng)

Sea and boat trips

Calm to choppy. Book boat trips day by day, not in advance.

What to do in Quy Nhon in September

1. Ky Co and Eo Gio on a clear morning. Eo Gio is about 30 minutes from the city-beach hotels; entry is normally 50,000 VND, but it was half price (25,000 VND) over the 2 September holiday in 2026.
2. Thap Doi and the city’s food scene on wet days.
3. Quang Trung Museum in Tay Son.
4. Night market near Le Duan street (about 7pm–10pm), or a craft beer at East West Brewing on the beach before the evening rain.

Crowds, prices and events

National Day (2 September) brings a busy long weekend. Over the 2026 holiday the city beach was busier than usual, but still far quieter than Da Nang or Nha Trang. After that it’s quiet and cheap: Sala Quy Nhon, with a rooftop pool and bar, was about $30 a night.

What to pack

rain jacket, quick-dry clothes, sandals.
