Specifically, meteorological experts predict that today, March 25, Hanoi and the entire Northeastern region will see fog and drizzle, except for Ha Giang and Cao Bang provinces, where hot weather may prevail due to the expansion of a hot zone from the Northwest region.
By midday and into the afternoon, Hanoi may see a break in the rain. Meanwhile, the Northwest region, encompassing provinces such as Dien Bien, Son La, and Hoa Binh, expects sunny to scorching conditions, with temperatures reaching 35-36 degrees Celsius in some areas.
The Central region is also forecasted to have ample sunshine today. According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, on March 25 and 26, the Southeast region will experience widespread hot weather, with temperatures peaking around 35-37 degrees Celsius (and possibly higher in some places) and humidity levels ranging from 45-50 percent. The hot weather zone in the Southeast will gradually spread to the Southwest region today.
