The cold spell that is to strike this Saturday (February 19) and last for five days will cause temperatures to drop to below 10 degrees Celsius in low-lying areas. Mountainous areas are likely to see rain, snow, and ice.

The capital city of Hanoi is forecast to witness rain and thunderstorms on February 19 - 20, with daily temperatures to tumble to below 14 degrees Celsius.

Central provinces will also record incessant rain and low temperatures as the cold spell moves further inland.

The elderly are advised to stay indoors to avoid the risk of a stroke, whilst residents of mountainous regions should refrain from engaging in outdoor activities and burning coal in closed rooms for heat. 

Measures are needed to protect crops, cattle, and aquatic farms, especially those in mountainous localities.
