My take: I've tracked weather and crowd data for Hoi An across every month since 2020. The numbers below come from Open-Meteo historical averages (1990-2024), flight-price trackers from Aviasales, and my own trip notes. If a month looks "good" on paper but I'd personally skip it, I say so.

Best months: January, February, December — comfortable temperatures, lower rainfall, good value.

I went to Hoi An in December 2023 and was surprised by the low crowds during the lantern festival, with locals still setting up without tourist chaos. Best months: avg temp 20°C, rainfall 50mm, 70% sunny days. My warning: boat tours near the river often add a hidden 30,000 VND fee for tiny trips, not listed in guides.
