Hue is also warm and dry whilst in Dalat and the Central Highlands the climate will be cooler due to altitude and warm clothing is recommended for the evenings, however conditions are good for trekking and adventure activities. Further south the beaches of Nha Trang are also enjoying blue skies and higher temperatures.
