On January 26 (December 27, the year of the Dragon), speaking with reporters, an employee of the VOV radio station on the top of Phia Oac (or Phja Oac, Nguyen Binh district, Cao Bang province) said that at noon today, the weather was very cold, the temperature dropped sharply, causing ice to appear and stick to the trees.
At an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters above sea level, cold rain combined with strong winds caused ice to appear and stick to the trees around Phia Oac peak.
Phia Oac Peak is the second highest mountain peak in Cao Bang. Here, in the summer, the weather is cool. Meanwhile, in the winter, when the temperature drops, ice and snow often appear and is a popular tourist attraction.
Previously, on January 1, 2025, this mountain peak had frost once, the temperature at that time was minus 3-4 degrees Celsius. At noon today (January 26), the time the frost appeared, the temperature measured at this mountain peak was minus 5 degrees Celsius.
According to the Cao Bang Hydrometeorological Station, on the night of January 26 and January 27, temperatures in many areas of Cao Bang dropped sharply, ranging from 6 to 16 degrees Celsius, with severe cold. The risk of frost at Phia Oac peak is still very high.
