Beach safety with children
The city’s beach notice says to swim only inside the area marked off with safety buoys, which show yellow-red flags. It also says to follow the lifeguards on duty, stop when lifeguard hours end, and stay out on days of bad weather or big waves.
Beach conditions and typhoon warnings are in Da Nang Beach Swimming Safety and Da Nang Typhoon Season.
Heat and air
Mean air temperature peaks at 29.4 °C in June and is 29.3 °C in July, against 21.5 °C in January. Midday in summer is a time for the pool or a museum, not for walking.
Air quality is rated by band. In the yellow band, 51 to 100, air is acceptable but children are among the sensitive groups who may feel some effects. Live readings and the city’s pollution picture are in Da Nang Air Quality.
