The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting has issued a weather trend forecast for February 2025.
Regarding temperature trends, the average temperature across the country is generally approximately the same as the average of many years in the same period, except for the North Central and South Central regions, which are 0.5 - 1 degree Celsius lower than the average of many years in the same period.
During this period, cold air continues to affect our country's weather. It is likely to be stronger than the average of many years in the second half of the forecast period and cause many days of severe cold.
