The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting predicted that the Southern region will suffer heatwaves while the Northern region will continue experiencing cold waves in the first three months of 2025.

In a recently released long-term weather report from now until March 2025 across the country, the center noted the possibility of early heatwaves over Southern Vietnam, primarily the Southeastern region, in January 2025.

The meteorological agency warned that the heatwaves will last until March 2025.
