Da Nang 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 major coastal city between the mountains and the sea, Da Nang takes frequent direct hits from typhoons crossing the central coast. 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.
