Weather is meant to change without jingling the bell, so you cannot expect to have complete authority over what the weather condition will turn out to be in Vietnam. Even the best research before leaving home about the expected weather condition might eventually bring false result. I am not saying you can’t know the weather condition you will be experiencing in Vietnam, but what if all those fail to work. Having the right cloth will serve you right.

It is also significant to note that you will be exploring several regions during your tour, and there is no way all the regions will have the same weather conditions.
