TL;DR
Not really — forecasts almost always show daily rain for Nha Trang, but in the city itself it's often brief, localized, or doesn't happen at all; heat is a safer bet than the rain icon.
In the rainy period, a forecast may imply more than showers: waves and murky sea are also possible. However, both weather and sea conditions are hard to predict precisely, and it may still stay dry.
In practice there isn't that much rain: the forecast shows rain every day, but it's often brief and only in some spots, not a citywide downpour.
Don't rely much on the forecast for Nha Trang: heat is basically guaranteed, and rain gets flagged 'just in case' because the forecast covers the surrounding mountains too, where it rains more often than in the city itself.
It's a bit of a gamble overall: during the rainy season there's a chance of local flooding in the city, but usually it's not a big deal and things stay fine.
