For those who are truly in love with this highland city, it is the ideal time for them to visit Dalat – when the sun is yet to be harsh and unforgiving, and the raindrops caress your face like the touch of a moody lover. Let Ana Mandara Villas Dalat walk you through all that are at the peak of beauty in Dalat this May.
Dalat Weather in May
The consensus is that May is the start of the rainy season in Dalat. The sky can be clear and sunny in one moment and starts pouring down in the next minute, so beware!
Daytime temperature ranges from 24-26°C (75-79°F). The morning atmosphere can be quite warm with the shining sun and clear blue sky, but it will get breezy as the sun sets. At night, it can be a little chilly, and the temperature can drop to around 15°C (59°F), which is ideal for cuddling under the blanket in your most comfortable pajamas.
Dalat is famous for the city’s mild climate all around the year, so there is no need for heavy packing. Summer clothes work best, with a light hoodie or jacket for when it gets cold in the evening. Remember to pack an umbrella in case of rain as well.

Dalat for Food Lovers
Widely known throughout the country for its fresh and organic vegetables, Dalat incorporates a great variety of vegetables in the local dishes, one of which is the chicken hotpot with basil leaves. Be sure to enjoy the hearty hotpot during one of those drizzling afternoons, and it will surely warm you up!
In the mood for some savory light meal? Those baked rice crackers are made with glutinous rice flour and eggs, which are then baked in a clay mold to create the unique burnt aroma.
Another local favorite is grilled chicken with bamboo-cooked rice. The chicken is marinated and then grilled to perfection, and the bamboo rice is there to balance out the spice and fattiness of the meat.
