May offers a mix of warm temperatures and rising humidity, with occasional afternoon showers. Mornings are ideal for exploring the Imperial City, while brief rain showers in the afternoon bring a refreshing contrast to the city's historic landscapes. This month is just before the peak rainy season, meaning you'll still get plenty of sunshine while avoiding the heavier monsoon rains that come later. The reduced tourist crowds make it an excellent time to capture the beauty of Hue's UNESCO-listed sites without the usual hustle. For the best experience, start your days early to beat the midday heat and embrace the occasional rain—it only adds to Hue's atmospheric charm.
