The weather in Saigon like a girl's mood. In the early morning and evening, it's cool & fresh. It's bright sunshine the whole day & hot in the noon. You can be grilled when you go out on the street at noon. It can rain at any time without any sign. It also can be rainy and sunny at the same time, even can sun here and rainny 20 meters away. Such an clumsy but still be lovely.

So you have all the four seasons in only one day! I only missed the snow in your comment. Then I feel lucky living in the north-east of Spain where the weather is more solid, but in this specific region a strong wind is, what really can anoy you when it seems never to stop.
