This year, the April 30 - May holiday lasts up to 5 days, starting from Wednesday (April 30, 2025) and ending on Sunday (May 4, 2025).
Mr. Vu Anh Tuan - Deputy Head of Weather Forecast Department, National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting - recommended notable points about weather trends during the upcoming April 30 - May holiday.
Sir, the hot weather has shown signs of gradually calming down in the Northern region, while the Central region is still facing widespread heat. Forecast before the April 30 - May 1 holiday, will the weather continue to change or not?
- Before the holidays 30.4 - 1.5, the weather in the area will change. From the evening of 24.4 - 25.4, the North has showers and scattered thunderstorms and localities in heavy rain. The rainy time is concentrated from the evening of April 24 to the early morning of April 25. During the intersection, it is necessary to prevent the risk of hormones, whirlwinds, hail and strong winds. The highest temperature in the North is popular from 27 - 30 degrees C.
On April 25, widespread hot weather will still occur in the area from Quang Tri to Phu Yen with the highest temperature of 35 - 37 degrees Celsius, some places above 37 degrees Celsius.
In the Central Highlands and the South, there will be local heat waves. The highest temperature is about 32 - 35 degrees Celsius, in some places above 35 degrees Celsius.
From the evening of April 24 to 25, the Central Highlands and the South are likely to have thunderstorms with a probability of about 60 - 70%.
From the evening of April 27 to 29, the North and North Central regions will have scattered showers and thunderstorms, with some places having heavy rain. The time of rain will be concentrated in the late afternoon and night, and it is also necessary to be on guard against the risk of tornadoes, hail and strong gusts of wind.
So will showers and thunderstorms continue during the April 30 - May holiday in the northern region? What is the weather in the regions across the country worth noting, sir?
- The Northern and North Central regions from April 30 to May 1 are likely to have showers and thunderstorms. From January 2nd, the rain will decrease, the days will be sunny, and there will be no signs of heat.
The Central Central and South Central regions will have little rain during the holiday season, with localized heat.
The Central Highlands and the South will have sunny days, some places will have hot weather. In the late afternoon and evening, there is a high possibility of showers and thunderstorms.
Notably, from April 28 to May 1, the southern coast will experience a high tide.
The tide level is not too high, but the peak tide in Phu An and Nha Be is likely to be close to or above alert level 1 (about 140 - 145 cm); it can cause flooding on some roads and low-lying areas in Nha Be district, District 7, District 8 (HCMC), some low-lying areas in Can Tho, Vinh Long - especially when there is rain.
With such weather developments, what recommendations do you have for the people?
- Organizing committees of events during the holidays should prepare plans to respond to rain, strong winds, hot sunshine, and flooding due to high tides such as setting up theaters and covering equipment. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that rescue, medical, and fire prevention and fighting vehicles are ready to respond promptly to situations arising from the weather.
People attending the event should prepare umbrellas, umbrellas, raincoats, drinking water... depending on weather conditions. The severe heat (over 37 degrees Celsius) can cause heatstroke and heatstroke. Meanwhile, showers and thunderstorms can disrupt outdoor events, causing slippery conditions.
People should proactively monitor forecast information to have a reasonable plan.
Sincerely thank you!
