I went to Vietnam in the middle of winter, so went from the cold weather here to stepping off the plane in Hanoi to 40+ humid degrees. It was about 5 days of 40+ temperatures before it finally rained. Absolutely brutal.

Absolutely shocking humidity. It’s that real sickly kind of humidity you get during monsoon in South East Asia. Having flashbacks to my last trip Vietnam.

I think I went in maybe late July? So it was pretty wet but I didn’t cop 40 degree days. I guess that’s why it feels like a throwback to that time.

I think I was there in June, but it was unusually hot even for Vietnam - enough that it was in the news as a major heatwave. I was drinking a few 1.5L bottles of water every day and still got a bit dehydrated, I think my body just couldn’t physically absorb the water fast enough to replace what was lost. When it finally rained it was an incredible relief.
