TL;DR

Despite common claims that August is "perfect" in Nha Trang, travelers report full days and weeks of heavy rain during this month; conditions tend to improve closer to September, and heavy rain often falls in the evening/at night.

What the community said

A traveler with an infant checked the forecast thread up to September and noticed early September looked much better weather-wise; since with a baby they're in the hotel room after 9pm anyway, evening rain isn't a big issue for them.

Two days before an August flight, a traveler checked the forecast and saw all-day rain predicted for the entire week of their trip — she was very upset, having expected good weather.

Another traveler also relied on reviews claiming August is "gorgeous" in Nha Trang, but the actual forecast right before departure looked bad — they're hoping the real weather turns out better than predicted.
