Pick United Kingdom 🇬🇧 if you're going in…

May, June, July, August

May has long days and the fewest Scottish midges.

Pick Vietnam 🇻🇳 if you're going in…

January, February, March, October, November, December

Don't try the whole country in monsoon swing months (Sep–Oct) — coastal weather is unreliable.

Months where both are equally good: April, September.
