TL;DR
Recent reports suggest Hanoi had a spell of persistent rain but conditions then became more settled; rain does not necessarily prevent sightseeing. Check the short-term forecast before travelling.
By mid-September, a local report said Hanoi had become more settled after a couple of weeks of continuous rain. Pack rain gear and keep your itinerary flexible in case of showers.
Travellers planning a mid-September trip saw rain forecasts across much of Vietnam, while Hanoi appeared to be a comparatively better option. Rain is worth planning for, but the city was still considered feasible for a holiday.
In early September, the short-range forecast showed sunshine in Hanoi for the following two days while Da Nang was experiencing worse weather. Conditions can differ substantially between cities and change quickly.
