According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, the Southern Central Highlands and the Southern region will have scattered showers and thunderstorms, locally heavy to very heavy rain with rainfall from 10-30mm, locally over 60mm; warning of the risk of local heavy rain (>60mm/6 hours).
Thunderstorms may cause tornadoes, lightning and strong gusts of wind. Localized heavy rain may cause flooding in low-lying areas; flash floods in small rivers and streams; and landslides on steep slopes.
Around the night of October 18-19, another cold front will move down, causing rain in the North, and temperatures will drop slightly. These are still the first cold fronts of the season, so they are not enough to cause cold weather day and night in the North. From October 22-23, the cold front will strengthen, causing thunderstorms, and the weather will turn cold at night and in the morning.
The meteorological agency predicts that cold air will be active from December 2024 to January 2025, causing severe cold spells.
