Climate
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 B́nh
Liêu and Hải Hà, Đầm 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 vary. 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 B́nh 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.
