The short answer
When to go to Nha Trang
February to April is the best window for Nha Trang: dry, warm days, little rain and calmer seas for boat trips. May to August is hot, with highs around 32 C and more domestic holiday crowds, so plan outings early and late. October and November are the wettest months in the Wikipedia climate table and bring rough seas, flooding risk and cancelled tours, so avoid them. Older travellers will find February to April the most comfortable.
