In Hanoi, following the heavy rains caused by the influence of Typhoon No. 3, the weather has been consistently hot and sunny. August 30 marks the third consecutive day that residents of Hanoi have experienced hot and humid weather resembling summer.
Recent autumn days in Hanoi have been as hot as summer.
Regarding the cause of the heat in the region, Mr. Nguyen Huu Thanh, Deputy Head of the Weather Forecast Department at the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, stated that over the past 2 to 3 days, the northern provinces and the North Central region have been under the influence of the southern edge of a low-pressure trough located around 24 – 27 degrees North latitude.
Additionally, there is the activity of a subtropical high-pressure system aloft. As a result, the northern provinces and the North Central region have experienced plenty of sunshine, leading to a rise in temperatures.
According to data from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, from August 28 until now, the northern provinces and the North Central region have recorded temperatures generally between 33 – 35 degrees Celsius, with some areas experiencing heat but not excessively severe, reaching 35 – 36 degrees Celsius.
Among these, the capital city of Hanoi is one of the places where heat has been recorded, with temperatures reaching up to 35 – 36 degrees Celsius.
Mr. Nguyen Huu Thanh also mentioned that according to forecasts from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, the aforementioned low-pressure trough will be compressed and pushed southward, gradually affecting the weather in the northern provinces, causing more sunshine.
The Northern region today (August 31) will continue to experience heat. It is forecasted that from the evening and night of August 31 to September 4, rain and thunderstorms may unexpectedly occur in the northern provinces.
Forecasts for the weather during the September 2 holiday in the North suggest that there will still be sunshine, but it will not be continuous, and there will be no more extreme heat, with temperatures generally ranging from 32 – 34 degrees Celsius.
