TL;DR
The Nha Trang–Da Lat motorbike route can be risky in the rainy season due to heavy rain, flooded sections, washouts and landslides. Even a forecast of around 20 mm of rain in Da Lat may make the mountain road difficult.
If Da Lat is forecast to receive around 20 mm of rain, consider postponing a motorbike ride: heavy rain can quickly reduce visibility and make the mountain bends hazardous.
Check the weather along the full route from Nha Trang to Da Lat, not just at your departure point; rain can disrupt the trip.
For a motorbike trip to Da Lat in the wet season, plan to bring a rain poncho and a warm clothing layer, but base the final decision on current weather and road conditions.
In autumn, roads through Lam Dong Province can have downpours, washouts and landslides. One reported section was nearly one metre underwater, forcing a detour of about 100 km.
