Quang
Ninh’s climate is symbolic of the climate of North
Vietnam; featuring all four seasons. In summer, it's
hot, humid and rainy, while monsoons flourish. In
winter, it's cold, dry, and sees little rainfall.
The average heat radiating
during a year is 115.4 Kcal/sq. cm. The average
temperature is over 21oC,
while the average humidity is 84%. Annual rainfall
totals between 1,700 and 2,400 mm, and there can be
between 90 to 170 rainy days in a year. These are
mainly concentrated in the summer (more than 85%),
and especially in the months of July and August. In
winter, rainfall only reaches between 150 and 400
mm.
In comparison to other provinces in the
north, Quang Ninh has been more under the influences
of north-eastern monsoons. The wind blows strongly
and the temperature drops to between 1 and 3ºC.
During a north-eastern monsoon, high mountainous
regions such as Bình Liêu and Hải Hà, Ðầm Hà
sometimes see the temperature drop below 0ºC.
Storms have a large influence on
the province, mainly in June, July and August. The
intensity can be extremely strong, especially in
island and coastal regions.
Due to differences in terrain, the
climate of sub-regions varies. The border area of
the Móng Cái District is colder and rainy, with an
average temperature of around 22ºC and rainfall
reaching 2,751 mm. In the Yên Hưng District, the
most southern area, the average temperature is 24ºC
and sees an average rainfall of 1,700 mm. The high
mountainous region of Hoành Bồ, and Ba Chẽ
districts, is victim to 20 days of frost a year, and
is subject to little rainfall. In the Bình Liêu
District there is heavy rain (2,400 mm) and winter
lasts for six months. The offshore island region is
not the wettest area, with only 1,700 to 1,800 mm
of rainfall per year, but winter is often
accompanied by thick mists.
