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.
Beyond the heatwaves, this region may also experience extreme weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, whirlwinds, cyclones and lightning.
In the meantime, cold spells would be active, sending temperatures drop sharply across the Northern region in January and February, according to Deputy Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting Hoang Phuc Lam.
Several high mountainous areas are forecast to suffer from freezing and frost. By March, the activity of cold air affecting Northern Vietnam will gradually decrease, returning to the average levels of many years.
