Best Time to Visit Da Nang and Hoi An: Beach Months and the Flood Months
Da Nang and Hoi An are best from February to May. From September to December rain, storms and floods are common, so November is a risky month.
Quick answer: The best time to visit Da Nang and Hoi An is February to May: dry, sunny and warm, with good beach days. June to August is hot but fine. September to December is the wet season, with heavy rain, typhoons and, in Hoi An, occasional flooding of the old town, most often in October and November.

If your dates are November
Do not plan central Vietnam as your only stop. For November, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are drier, and Phu Quoc is entering its dry season. If you still want Hoi An, keep a day or two spare, check the weather forecast a week out, and book refundable rooms.
Does Hoi An really flood?
Yes. Parts of the old town flood in heavy rain, usually for a few days. It is part of local life, but it can close restaurants and shops and cancel tours.
Is Da Nang good for a family trip?
In spring and summer yes: calm beaches, theme parks and short drives to Hue and Hoi An.
