Hot spell back to north, central Vietnam next week
VOV.VN - The ongoing cold air wave is forecast to grip the northern and central regions of Vietnam in a couple of days before a hot spell will hit the regions next week, according to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.
The cold air wave has been dominating the weather in the northern and central regions for a few days and is anticipated to dissipate on April 1.
People, even those in Hanoi, feel a bit cool in the morning due to low temperatures, scattered drizzle, and fog.
However, a brief surge of hot air will have its sights set on parts of the regions next week, starting on April 2.
Like the first heat wave that struck the northern and central regions a week ago, the next hot spell will not be a long-lasting one, but it will send temperatures in northern and central localities rising considerably to 33-35℃.
Several highland localities such as Son La and Hoa Binh are set to endure the biggest spike in temperatures, ranging between 35 and 37℃.
After April 5, a cold spell accompanied by heavy rain is expected to hit the northern and central regions, helping to ease the hot weather conditions there.
Cold air waves tend to decrease in frequency and intensity in the coming months. Meanwhile, hot spells will increase in intensity and gradually expand to other parts of the northern and central regions in April and May 2023.
The average temperature across major parts of the country in April is estimated at 0.5 - 1℃ higher than the average of previous years.
