According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, from the night of April 16 to April 17, due to the influence of cold air compressing low pressure troughs combined with wind convergence above 1,500m, in the Northern region (except Lai Chau, Dien Bien) and Thanh Hoa there will be rain, moderate rain and scattered thunderstorms with rainfall from 20-40mm, locally heavy rain over 100mm. In thunderstorms, there is a possibility of tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind.
From April 17, the weather in the North will turn cool. Thunderstorms accompanied by tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind can affect agricultural production, causing trees to fall, damage to houses, traffic works, and infrastructure.
