The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that in December, cold air in the north will continue to increase its activity. Along with that, the equatorial low pressure trough still tends to maintain strong activity and affect the weather in the central and southern regions of the East Sea. Therefore, there is still a high risk of storms or tropical depressions that can affect the mainland of our country, concentrated in the area from the Central Central region to the South.

The Central and South Central regions need to continue to guard against heavy rains due to the influence of cold air combined with tropical disturbances such as storms and tropical depressions.

In addition, there is a continued risk of strong winds and rising water levels in the sea areas due to cold air activity in the northern and central East Sea and storms or tropical depressions in the southern East Sea.

The Central Highlands and the South will have more rainy days than average due to the influence of the equatorial low pressure trough.

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, in the first 10 days of December, the average temperature in the North and North Central regions was generally approximately lower than the average value of many years (TBNN) in the same period. Other places were approximately at the TBNN level.

During the 10-day period in the middle of the month, the average temperature nationwide is generally below the average value. The Northern region should be on guard against the possibility of severe cold. During the last period of the month, the average temperature nationwide is generally above the average value.

Regarding rainfall: Total rainfall in the Northern region is generally lower than the average. Total rainfall is forecast to be from 5-20mm.

Rainfall from Thanh Hoa to Ha Tinh is generally 20-50% lower than the average; from Quang Tri to Da Nang is approximately the average; from Quang Nam to Binh Thuan is generally 10-30% higher than the average for the same period.

Meanwhile, total rainfall in December in the Central Highlands and the South is generally higher than the average for the same period. Total rainfall is forecast to be from 30-50mm.
