TL;DR
Heat tolerance in Nha Trang varies greatly — temperatures can exceed 40°C. Stay hydrated with isotonic drinks and water, and consider acclimatizing in a sauna before your trip.
Regular sauna sessions before your trip can help acclimatize — the conditions are similar to Nha Trang's heat. People who sauna several times a week tend to handle the outdoor heat much better.
Even at 40°C+ you can spend a full day on a motorbike, hiking to mountains and waterfalls — as long as you drink plenty of water and isotonic drinks (not alcohol). Some travelers manage fine even without a hat.
Heat tolerance is highly individual. Some tourists are active all day long, while others prefer to stay in air-conditioned hotels during the hottest hours.
Even evenings in Nha Trang can feel stuffy and hard to breathe — especially for those unaccustomed to tropical climates. Many travelers find it hotter here than other Asian destinations.
