The Central Highlands will see a mix of clouds and sunshine during the day, followed by scattered thunderstorms from late afternoon into the evening.
In Southern Vietnam, thunderstorms are forecast in An Giang and Dong Thap provinces during the morning and around midday before spreading to parts of Tay Ninh and Vinh Long. Storm activity is expected to become more widespread in the afternoon and evening.
The Southern region is forecast to experience several rounds of rain from Thursday through the weekend. Sunny conditions are expected to return early next week, lasting from morning through afternoon.
