<h2 id="climate">Climate</h2>
<p>Hà Tĩnh has a marginal and unusually wet <a href="/facts/Tropical_monsoon_climate/x0HmIH4C">tropical monsoon climate</a> (Köppen <i>Am</i>) bordering on both an unusually wet <a href="/facts/Humid_subtropical_climate/vr1kMhwS">humid subtropical climate</a> (<i>Cfa</i>) and a trade-wind <a href="/facts/Tropical_rainforest_climate/vI2p5JFK">tropical rainforest climate</a> (<i>Af</i>) – the last of these being a rare climate type in Vietnam. The heaviest rain is in <a href="/facts/Monsoon_of_South_Asia/x3GzRyzx">the northeast monsoon</a> season from September to November, when 1,616 millimetres or 63.6 inches can be expected, but rainfall exceeds 50 millimetres or 2 inches even in the driest months of the “spring” season. The weather during the “winter” season from December to February is warm, humid and somewhat rainy, whilst the “summer” from May to August is hot to sweltering although drier than most of Indochina due to the influence of the mountains to the southwest.
