Since January 26 morning, various communes in Meo Vac and Dong Van districts, Ha Giang Province have seen snowfall since around 8 a.m. when the temperature dropped sharply to zero degrees Celsius. Notably, the temperature in Lao Xa Village, Sung La Commune, Dong Van District plummeted to minus 2 degrees Celsius.
To cope with the harsh weather conditions, local leaders have promptly instructed residents to take measures against the cold, particularly protecting livestock and poultry from the impact of the freezing temperatures.
Currently, a new cold wave has slammed into the Northern region. It is forecast that the temperature will continue to drop significantly.
