During the first 10 days of the month, the area was mainly affected by the southern edge of the continental cold high pressure with a strengthening period around February 2-3, the next strengthening period around February 10 and lasting until the beginning of the middle week of the month.
In the middle and last weeks of February, cold air is quite strong, but the strengthening waves are less frequent and mainly strengthen from the East.
As a result, temperatures increase significantly and some days are hot with maximum temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius. The northeast wind over the sea areas also tends to decrease.
The Indo-Burma low pressure system has a tendency to gradually strengthen; the first strengthening phase of this low pressure system in February 2025 was around February 4-6, but it had almost no impact on the weather in the region.
The strengthening waves in the middle and end of February lasted longer and tended to expand southwards. The heat waves generated from this low pressure area began to affect the regional weather and caused heat in the central area of Ho Chi Minh City for a few days. However, after only 1-2 days with temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius and above 35 degrees Celsius, the temperature immediately dropped.
In the second half of the month, the heat will still mostly occur locally but will last longer. In the last few days of the month, there is a possibility of widespread heat in the central area of Ho Chi Minh City.
The average temperature in February 2025 is generally higher than the average of many years but not much. The total monthly rainfall is generally higher than the average of many years in the same period.
In which, the middle and last weeks have total rainfall 20-50% higher than the average of many years; the first week has total rainfall approximately equal to the average of many years in the same period.
During the month, rain is mainly caused by easterly wind disturbances. In the last few days of the month, there is a possibility of rain due to thermal convection, so showers and thunderstorms appear in the evening, possibly accompanied by thunderstorms, whirlwinds, and lightning.
