Meteorological experts say weather across Vietnam shows clear regional differences on March 19.

Northern and central localities stretching from Thanh Hoa to Hue experience scattered rain and light morning fog, and sunny conditions appear during midday and afternoon. Other regions are mostly sunny, with isolated showers and thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening.

The Southeastern region continues to face local heatwaves. Meteorologists warn that thunderstorms may bring strong winds, lightning, and localised tornadoes, posing risks to daily life and production activities.

From the night of March 20 to March 28, weather patterns are expected to remain stable. Northern and north-central regions will continue to see scattered rain and light morning fog, with sunny afternoons. Southern Vietnam is forecast to maintain local heatwaves, expanding into wider heat conditions around March 21–22.

In Hanoi, temperatures will range from 21 to 28°C, mostly cloudy with scattered rain and light morning fog. Localities in the Northwestern region will see 19–28°C, with some areas exceeding 30°C, along with scattered showers and thunderstorms.

The Northeastern region will experience 19–28°C, with cloudy skies in the morning, clearing to sunshine in the afternoon. Temperatures in Ho Chi Minh City and other localities in the South will range from 23–34°C, with some areas above 35°C, dry conditions, and potential fire hazards.

These conditions are influenced by a low-pressure trough connecting to the western hot low, combined with a strengthening subtropical high over the South and moderate northeast winds over the East Sea.

Around March 22, the continental cold high will strengthen, together with the trough, resulting in continued daytime sunshine and local heat exceeding 35°C in the South.
