Everything is around +20°C: temperature of the sea and rivers, day and night air; and water is everywhere: under the sea and above the sea in the form of precipitation.
The Cua Khau sluice (aka Cống Phú Cam)
This:
Weather forecast from December 18, 2024, for Hue, Vietnam on Google
Though no tropical downpours like in October/November, when they caused flood, mostly drizzling without an end. There were several partly dry days (though cloudy) and that's when I went out for pics.

Although it was annoying to have this without a single sunny day for more than a month, I feel a bit sad saying goodbye to this season. Nope, it will be even colder in January but no endless damp gloominess anymore.
They often post political information or propaganda at the junctions of alleys and major streets
Classical vibes of Southeast Asia: the blue sky, bright sun, heat, and occasional downpours, are too common all over the region while the gloomy season isn't long and can be seen in Central and North Vietnam only.
In fact, 20 degrees is very comfortable weather for walking - you don't sweat and it's not hot in jeans and sneakers.
If it weren't for one thing: getting wet (sneakers and jeans which you can't even dry when it's +20 and humidity up to 100%). Many travelers end up coughing and wearing stinky clothes.
Happily, the sun has returned to Hue City at the very beginning of January: it has already been 3 days without precipitation. Pleasant 23 degrees in the afternoon. But I stay indoors, recovering from a cold, editing and sharing images from the precious season.

Bare branches here and there and gloomy sky like in autumn in the North.
Although most trees keep greenery, faded though:
The An Cuu River where you can shoot landscape images and street photography at the same time:
Street vendor of ban gio (steamed dumplings) and an old lady selling lottery
Melody Riverside Homestay is on this river, my home for 4 months already.
The Perfume River, a view from under the bridge.
Life of night streets.
One of many Hue royal palaces full of stories of the past.
My favorite yellow house near the hairdresser's, with an evening street cleaner. He has seen me many times, we often go out at the same time last 4 months.
The king of December, the drizzle, is back.
Not the most comfortable but peaceful and solitary period of my life. I'll miss it one day.

Oh man do you ever have a sunny day? 😢
At least it's not cold... I find it weird that there are people cleaning streets in the evening, here they just carry garbage with trucks early morning, that's it
A row of sunny days this week! So, the gloomy adventure has ended :)
They have trucks too, in the evening as well, but this is a wandering cleaner in the image, sweeping and collecting scattered garbage in the light of street lanterns... No idea how exactly this works but they cope: Hue streets are okay from the point of cleanliness. They have a regular (or even daily) cleaning service for the river too, love it.
The river should always be kept clean, here often there's garbage, then it gather, block the water flow and there's flooding... Meh

Фотографии с отражением в воде, всегда смотрятся классно 👍
True! Thank you! Cheers! 🙂🥂
good you found time to playwith your snaps, pretty shite having a cold though! great selection of shots to match the decent weather.
Yup. But lucky me, looks like I am passing the station "Coughing" without stopping (fingers crossed). Had a couple of scratching in the throat and then nothing. Two people at hostel are sick too, both coughing.
Guess that is a problem with staying in places with lots of other people, one of the downsides to meeting and engaging with others
Love these
Thank you!
It's really extraordinary, I really like your photography
