Phan Thiet lies on Vietnam’s south-central coast, where a distinct rainy season runs from September through December, later than the rest of the country, as the northeast monsoon picks up moisture over the South China Sea before reaching shore.
A coastal city known for its dunes, Phan Thiet sees a shorter, less intense wet season than central Vietnam but still faces flash flooding during strong storms. Typhoons and tropical depressions that stall off this coast can dump extremely heavy rain in a short time, so radar imagery is widely used alongside official warnings to track how a storm’s rain bands are moving.
