In the period from now until about April 20, the weather trend across the country will have many fluctuations in the direction of changing seasons, but the possibility of storms or tropical depressions appearing in the East Sea is assessed as low.
This is new weather information updated from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, noteworthy for sea tourism activities and inter-regional travel plans.
According to professional assessments, the average temperature in the North and the area from Thanh Hoa to Hue tends to be about 1-1.5 degrees Celsius higher than the multi-year average, even higher in some places. The remaining areas maintain a temperature level close to the multi-year average. Increased temperature combined with the transitional season makes the weather erratic, especially in the late afternoon.
In the context of weakening cold air and the low pressure trough in southern China being compressed, the Northern region may experience many thunderstorms accompanied by dangerous phenomena such as tornadoes, lightning and strong gusts of wind. These weather patterns often occur at the end of the day, which can affect tourists' sightseeing and travel schedules.
At sea, although there are no clear signs of storms or tropical depressions, the impacts of cold air can still cause thunderstorms, strong winds and locally large waves in the East Sea, affecting ship and island tourism activities.
Regarding the hot weather trend, from now until the end of March, hot weather will continue to be maintained in the Southeast region. Entering April, hot weather tends to increase in intensity and expand to the Southwest and some Central Highlands areas. At the same time, the Northwest and Northwest Central regions are also likely to experience localized hot weather from the end of March.
Regarding rainfall, the Northern region is expected to maintain a total rainfall of approximately the multi-year average, while the Central and Southern regions tend to be lower by 10 - 30mm. However, there is still a possibility of some widespread rains nationwide, concentrated more in the Northern mountainous region.
In addition, extreme weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind may appear sporadically, with a higher frequency in the North during the transitional season.
For tourists, this is a time to closely monitor the weather forecast, especially when planning sea tourism or exploring the northern mountainous areas - places that are susceptible to the impact of thunderstorms and dangerous weather during this period.
