According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, this year's Lunar New Year, the North is likely to be affected by a strong northeast monsoon, causing widespread cold.
From January 26, this Northeast monsoon will cause temperatures to drop sharply in the northern provinces. On January 26-27, the northern region will experience cold weather, accompanied by light rain, with the lowest temperature below 13°C. The average daily temperature will remain below 20°C, with many places likely to experience severe cold.
From December 28 to the third day of Tet, cold air continues to cover the North. The weather in the region remains cold, especially in mountainous areas where there is a possibility of severe cold. In the Northeast region, there will be light rain and drizzle, increasing the feeling of coldness and humidity.
Meanwhile, the North Central region is also directly affected by this Northeast monsoon with cold weather and light rain in some places. From the Central Central to the South Central region, scattered showers are forecasted during the days before Tet (December 27-29), making the weather in the region cooler.
In the Central Highlands and the South, the Tet weather is generally less rainy, sunny during the day and there are no signs of heat.
However, from the 2nd to the 5th of Tet, the coastal areas of the Southeast region will experience high tides.
