Sa Pa surprisingly turns cold in mid-autumn
VOV.VN - An unusual cold spell hit the famous northern resort town of Sa Pa on September 6, causing temperatures to plummet during the middle of autumn.
According to Luu Minh Hai, director of the Lao Cai Province Hydro-meteorological Observatory, temperatures in Lao Cai fell to 14.8 degrees Celsius, marking the lowest temperature recorded since the beginning of autumn.
This change can be put down to the weakened influence of the high-altitude wind convergence area, along with few clouds in mountainous areas, thereby causing large terrestrial radiation.
It is anticipated that winter-like conditions will arrive in Sa Pa early this year, with a much more severe winter expected in comparison to last year’s forecast, Hai added.
