The cold air in early November will push the temperature down to 18-20 degrees Celsius, in mountainous areas it could be below 13 degrees.

The cold air mass that swept through the northern mountainous region on the evening of October 29 has spread throughout the North and some places in the North Central region. The northeast monsoon caused light rain, causing temperatures to drop across the board. In Mau Son (Lang Son), the lowest temperature dropped to about 11 degrees Celsius, Dong Van (Ha Giang) 14 degrees Celsius, Sa Pa (Lao Cai) 15 degrees Celsius...

In Hanoi, the lowest temperature recorded at Lang station was 23 degrees Celsius, Ha Dong and Ba Vi stations were commonly 21-22 degrees Celsius.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that tonight and tomorrow, cold air will continue to spread to the North and North Central regions. The lowest temperature will be 20-22 degrees Celsius, in mountainous areas 16-18 degrees Celsius, and in some highland areas below 15 degrees Celsius.

The meteorological agency warns that from October 30, floods will occur on rivers from Nghe An to Ninh Thuan with an amplitude of 3 to 8 m in the upstream, and 1-4 m in the downstream. The risk of major floods, flash floods on small rivers and streams, landslides in mountainous areas, and localized flooding in low-lying areas is very high.

After this period, the North will continue to welcome a new monsoon with strong intensity, the temperature will decrease by another 2-3 degrees Celsius.From November 1 to 4, the Central Coast will continue to have heavy rain, especially in Ha Tinh - Phu Yen. Localities need to ensure the safety of reservoirs due to floods.
