According to the lunar calendar, this year's winter begins on November 7. Although winter has been here for more than a week, the daytime weather in the northern provinces is still hot with the highest temperature in some places reaching over 32 degrees Celsius.
The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting predicts that the average temperature in the Northern and North Central regions in the next month will generally be 1 - 1.5 degrees Celsius higher than the average of many years.
Mr. Nguyen Duc Hoa - Deputy Head of Climate Forecast Department, National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting - said that cold air activity from now until December 10 is likely to be weaker than the average of many years.
From November 15 to November 16, the North and North Central regions will have no rain at night, scattered fog and light fog in the early morning, and sunny days. The nights and early mornings will be cold.
According to the temperature chart from the meteorological agency, from November 19, due to the impact of additional cold air, the North is likely to decrease by about 3 - 5 degrees Celsius. The sky is cloudy, cold at night and morning. During the day, it is cold and rainy in some places. Around the end of November, the cold air tends to increase in intensity.
According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, cold air is likely to be active in December 2024 - February 2025 and cause widespread cold spells in the northern provinces. It is necessary to be on guard against the possibility of prolonged cold spells, especially in the northern mountainous areas, accompanied by frost and ice during this time.
