Quy Nhon in December: cooler, quieter, still a bit wet

Last updated: October 2026 · By Jack Ng

Quick answer: December is a mixed month. The worst of the rain is over, but it still rains on about 19 days (around 206 mm total) and the northeast wind keeps the sea choppy. It’s pleasant for sightseeing at 22–27°C, and Christmas and New Year are quiet here. For guaranteed beach weather, Phu Quoc is better.
