This year's April 30 - May 1 holiday lasts up to 5 days, starting from Wednesday (April 30, 2025) and ending on Sunday (May 4, 2025). This is a quite ideal time to rest, relax or organize long trips.
Mr. Mai Van Khiem - Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting has recommended notable points about weather trends during the upcoming April 30 - May 30 holiday.
Sir, right before the holidays, the heat background of areas across the country is tending to increase. The North also welcomed the first wide area of heat. Does the weather forecast have changed before the holidays 30.4 - 1.5 or not?
- From April 19, provinces from Thanh Hoa to Phu Yen will start to record widespread heat and sunshine, with the highest temperature commonly from 35 - 37 degrees Celsius, some places exceeding 37 degrees Celsius.
From April 21, the hot weather will spread to the entire Northern region (including Hanoi) and the Southern provinces. The highest temperature of the day in the North (including Hanoi) is forecast to be about 35 - 36 degrees Celsius, some places above 37 degrees Celsius.
The highest temperature in the Central region is about 36 - 38 degrees Celsius, the highest place can be over 39 degrees Celsius. The highest temperature in the South is generally 35 - 37 degrees Celsius.
The heat wave in the North may last until April 22, while in the Central region it is likely to last until April 23. Meanwhile, in the South, the heat may continue for many days.
From April 23 to 28, due to the impact of weak cold air, the North is likely to experience showers and thunderstorms, the temperature will decrease, and the heat will temporarily end.
The Central region is also cool, the heat is narrowing and only appearing locally.
So will the hot weather return during the 5 days off from April 30 to May 1, sir?
- During the April 30 - May 1 holiday, the weather nationwide is generally favorable, without any unusual natural disasters, creating favorable conditions for tourism activities, entertainment, and outdoor event organization.
The Northern region has little rain, the temperature increases slightly; around 3 - 4.5 there may be local heat.
The Central region will continue to experience hot weather, but the level is not as severe as in late April.
The Southern region continues to be hot and sunny over a wide area, with common temperatures of 34 - 37 degrees Celsius.
Sir, with the complicated weather developments during the changing seasons, what recommendations do you have for the people?
- It is worth noting that during the changing seasons, thunderstorms, whirlwinds, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind can occur suddenly, especially in the late afternoon. In addition, widespread hot weather also causes the risk of fire and explosion, forest fires and affects health. People need to proactively monitor the forecast.
To ensure timely, complete and accurate weather information to serve people, tourism activities, travel and event organization during the holiday, we will increase the frequency of issuing forecasts, closely monitor weather developments and promptly warn of dangerous phenomena such as heavy rain, thunderstorms, tornadoes, strong winds, hail...
These warnings will be continuously updated to support local authorities, event organizers as well as people to proactively respond and minimize damage.
Sincerely thank you!
