On the afternoon of December 27, monitoring satellite cloud images, weather radar images and lightning positioning showed that the thunderstorm area was developing and causing rain with thunderstorms and lightning in the Can Gio area, Binh Tan district, Thu Duc city, Tan Phu district, and Go Vap district.
In the next 0 - 3 hours, thunderstorms will continue to develop, causing showers, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning in the above districts, then expanding to other neighboring areas.
Rainfall is generally from 2-10mm, some places over 15mm. During thunderstorms, beware of tornadoes, hail and strong gusts of wind around level 5-7 (8-17m/s), heavy rain causing localized flooding.
The thunderstorms are caused by the continental cold high pressure continuing to strengthen to the South. Above, the subtropical high pressure with an axis through the Central Central region is operating stably. The Northeast wind has an average intensity over the sea area of the Southeast region.
Weather forecast for the next 24-48 hours, continental cold high pressure will strengthen strongly in the Northern and Central provinces, then diffuse to the South.
Northeast wind in the offshore waters of the Southeast gradually becomes stronger. In the upper regions, subtropical high winds with axis through the Central region encroach on the west, then have stable intensity.
From the next 3 days, the cold continental high pressure will slowly weaken, and around January 3-4, it is likely to strengthen slightly. The Northeast wind in the offshore waters of the Southeast will be strong, and from around December 31, it will gradually decrease in intensity and tend to increase in the last days.
Above, the subtropical high pressure system with an axis through the Central region is operating stably. The easterly wind disturbance above tends to operate from January 1-3.
Therefore, the Southern region will have scattered showers and thunderstorms. Beware of possible tornadoes, lightning and strong gusts of wind during thunderstorms.
In the coming days, water levels at most stations in the downstream of the Saigon - Dong Nai River will rise slowly and at high levels. By December 29, 2024, the highest daily peak tide level is likely to reach approximately or above alert level I.
