Regarding China issuing the earliest cold wave warning in history, predicting that a large area of the country will experience an early chill with a significant drop in temperature, Mr. Nguyen Van Huong – Head of the Weather Forecasting Department at the National Center for Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting stated that, based on observations from the meteorological map system, the cold air mass currently located in northern China is quite strong.
On October 9, the cold air mass will affect the northern mountainous region of our country.
“It is forecasted that around October 9, this cold air mass will impact the northern mountainous region of our country, and subsequently affect the midland, lowland areas, and may also influence the North Central region. It is expected to cause a significant drop in temperature, with nighttime and early morning temperatures in the northern mountains possibly falling below 20 degrees Celsius. Additionally, it may also bring moderate to heavy rainfall in the North Central and Central regions, along with strong winds and rough seas in the northern and central areas of the East Sea,” Mr. Nguyen Van Huong informed.
