Vietnam map of Köppen climate classification Hundreds of active fires burning across the hills and valleys of Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam (labelled with red dots). Vietnam's climate, being located in the tropics and strongly influenced by the South China Sea has a monsoon-influenced climate typical of that of mainland Southeast Asia.
[1]: 27 Because all of Vietnam lies between the southern and northern limit of the polar front, Vietnam's climate are both influenced by polar air and tropical air (from the tropical convergent zone). [1]: 27 In Vietnam, the monsoon circulation is a combination of both the South Asian and Northeast Asian monsoon systems.
Köppen climate classification map of Vietnam Nha Trang, a popular beach destination, has a tropical savanna climate. Due to differences in latitude and the marked variety in topographical relief, Vietnam's climate tends to vary considerably for each region. [196]
Vietnam's geography of long coastal areas and monsoon rains makes its land and people highly sensitive to the above-mentioned results such as elevations in sea levels and the intensification of weather extremes that climate change will bring. While the magnitude and speed of such trends remains unclear, there is sufficient certainty in the ...
Vietnam map of Köppen climate classification. Vietnam is located in both a tropical and a temperate zone. It is characterized by strong monsoon influences, but has a considerable amount of sun, a high rate of rainfall, and high humidity. Regions located near the tropics and at high altitudes are endowed with a temperate climate. [9]
The Köppen climate classification divides Earth climates into five main climate groups, with each group being divided based on patterns of seasonal precipitation and temperature. The five main groups are A (tropical), B (arid), C (temperate), D (continental), and E (polar).
However, the issues which the environmental movement in Vietnam is concerned with sometimes fall outside these official categories. For example, according to a World Bank study in 2007, [3] climate change has become a major concern because Vietnam is expected to be seriously impacted by climate related consequences in the years to come.
The following is a list of ecoregions in Vietnam defined by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Terrestrial ecoregions. Vietnam is in the Indomalayan realm.
