The North is about to welcome the monsoon season, the South is hot and sunny

Under the influence of the weakening cold air mass, in the first days of the new year, the North will maintain cloudy weather at night and in the morning, with light fog, and sunny at noon. The temperature in the North and the North Central region (from Thanh Hoa to Thua Thien Hue) is relatively pleasant, fluctuating between 14-28 degrees Celsius.

From today until the end of the 5th day of the first lunar month, the Northern and North Central regions will maintain cloudy weather. The coastal and mountainous areas in the North will have thick fog at midnight and in the morning, reducing visibility to less than 1km, making it difficult for vehicles to travel, especially between 4-8am every day.

By noon, when the humid southeast wind zone weakens, the low-lying area in the west develops again, the North turns sunny, the temperature increases to 24-27. In places like Muong La, Muong Lay, Muong Te or Yen Chau, the temperature can reach 30-32.

Around the evening of February 21 (ie the night of January 6 of the lunar calendar), the North will welcome a cold air mass, causing rain at night and in the morning, temperatures will drop, and mountainous areas may experience severe cold (average daytime temperature from 15 degrees Celsius or lower).

The remaining two days of the holiday, from Thanh Hoa to Binh Thuan, will be dry and sunny in the afternoon. The highest temperature in the North Central region is 28 degrees Celsius, and the provinces from Da Nang to Binh Thuan are 30 degrees Celsius.

The Central Highlands and the South will enter a new heat wave from tomorrow (January 4, Lunar New Year). The temperature in the Central Highlands will rise to 30-32 degrees Celsius, and in the South it will be 32-34 degrees Celsius. It is likely that on February 20-21 (January 5-6, Lunar New Year), the Southeast will experience heat waves with high temperatures of 34-35 degrees Celsius.
