According to new weather news from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, the hot low pressure area in the West is developing towards the East, causing humid rain in the North to temporarily stop and hot sun tends to increase right from the beginning of March.
However, this warm state does not last long. Weather forecasts show that the North is still likely to welcome mild cold air waves in March.
Around the night of March 2nd, March 3rd, the continental cold high pressure may be strengthened again and continue to supplement around March 5th, 6th, March 3rd.
Northern and North Central regions from September 1st. 03 has light rain in some places, early morning fog and light fog scattered, sunny days. Especially from the night of June 2nd. 03 is likely to have rain, scattered showers and thunderstorms in some places. From March 3rd. 03 Northern weather turns cold, mountainous areas are cold in some places, from May 4th. 03 weather turns cold.
When cold air spills down, the weather in Hanoi and the Northern provinces is likely to have scattered showers and thunderstorms, the temperature drops, commonly the lowest is 19-23 degrees C, the highest is about 23-24 degrees C.
The upcoming cold air waves are mainly weak in intensity, have a short impact period and are unlikely to cause widespread severe cold and biting cold.
The concept of "Ngan Ban cold" is often used to refer to late cold spells appearing in March of the lunar calendar, when the weather has warmed up. In Binh Ngo year 2026, March of the lunar calendar falls around mid-April of the solar calendar, so there is currently no basis to confirm that Ngan Ban cold will appear in the true traditional sense. However, if understood broadly as cold air spells appearing late during the transitional period, it is still possible to occur.
The meteorological agency also noted that in March, cold air will operate eastward and gradually weaken compared to the main east. When transient cold air masses combine with Southeast winds bringing moisture from the sea to the mainland, the North is prone to light rain, drizzle and widespread fog. This is the condition for the formation of humidity - a familiar phenomenon of "sweating" floors and walls in the Northeast.
The weather in the North in March enters a clear seasonal transition phase, with the intersection of warm sunny days and weak cold air waves. Weather fluctuations can affect outdoor sightseeing schedules, especially pilgrimages during the early year festival season.
Meanwhile, the weather forecast for the area from Ha Tinh to Hue and the South Central Coast has the possibility of widespread rains.
The weather in the South enters the peak of the dry season but there is still a possibility of unseasonal rain. Hot weather is maintained in the Southeast and locally in the Southwest, increasing the risk of fires and explosions as well as local water shortages.
Tourists should regularly update weather forecasts to proactively plan their travel and experience.
