Hanoi Weather in January

In general, the Hanoi weather in January is a little cold and the average temperature keeps from 13 to 19℃ (55-66℉). The temperature becomes higher in late January. With rainfall of about 21 mm on average, it rains less than other months in January and the humidity is also relatively low. 

Maybe a little cold, but January is definitely a good month to explore Hanoi. It is still in off-peak travel season and there are not so many visitors sightseeing in this ancient city. And the most important festival of the country, Tet, sometimes falls at the end of this month, when colorful celebrations are held.
 

If you are planning to visit Hanoi in January, warm clothes and light clothes are all required. In the daytime, the weather is warmer and you can wear blouses, thin knitwear, long T-shirts, and jeans. However, when the sun goes down, the weather becomes much cooler, and an overcoat or a jacket is very necessary. Sneakers or short boots are optional for your January trip.
