Cold Air Forecast to Sweep Through Northern Vietnam from March 25, Causing a Temperature Drop of Nearly 10 Degrees Celsius.
According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, after a prolonged heat wave lasting about three days in several provinces in Northern and Central Vietnam, a cold front will sweep through the country starting March 25, leading to a significant temperature drop. Northern provinces should be cautious of extreme weather phenomena such as tornadoes, lightning, hail, and strong winds during thunderstorms.
Specifically, on the night of March 24-25 and from the night of March 26-28, Hanoi and other northern provinces will experience scattered rain and thunderstorms. This weather pattern will persist in the region from Thanh Hoa to Thua Thien Hue from the night of March 25 to March 28.
According to the 10-day weather forecast, on March 23, the temperature in Hanoi sharply increased to 36 degrees Celsius. From March 26, temperatures in the area will drop significantly due to the cold air. (Photo: NCHMF).
In Hanoi, on March 26, the highest temperature will decrease by nearly 10 degrees Celsius compared to the previous day, ranging between 22-26 degrees Celsius. From March 27 to March 30, temperatures in the capital will continue to decrease, maintaining a range of 19-24 degrees Celsius, accompanied by scattered rain and showers.
According to meteorological agencies, starting today, March 22, the Northern Delta, as well as the provinces of Son La, Hoa Binh, and from Thanh Hoa to Thua Thien Hue, are experiencing widespread heat with the highest temperatures commonly reaching 35-37 degrees Celsius, and some areas exceeding 37 degrees Celsius. Other parts of Northern Vietnam and areas from Da Nang to Phu Yen may experience localized heat with average maximum temperatures of 34-36 degrees Celsius, and some exceeding 36 degrees Celsius. From March 21-22, the southeastern region of Vietnam continues to experience heat with daily maximum temperatures generally around 35-37 degrees Celsius.
The heat is expected to intensify, affecting Northern and Central Vietnam throughout April 2023. From now until April 20, the Southern region will see several days of heat, particularly in the southeastern provinces.
In July-August 2023, heat is expected to continue primarily in Northern and Central Vietnam, with intensity potentially more severe than in the same period in 2022.
From now until May 2023, the likelihood of typhoons and tropical depressions appearing in the East Sea is low; however, these may emerge around the latter half of June, in line with climatic patterns.
From July to September 2023, the number of typhoons and tropical depressions in the East Sea is expected to be similar to the average for many years during this period (approximately 4-5 storms/tropical depressions), which may impact Northern Vietnam and the northern part of Central Vietnam.
