According to the temperature chart from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, the North will experience a decrease in temperature next week. To determine the cause of the decrease in temperature, the reporter had an interview with Mr. Nguyen Duc Hoa - Deputy Head of Climate Forecasting Division, National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.

Sir, how will the weather in the North change in early October and what is the cause of the impact, sir?
- The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting is predicting that a cold air mass may appear around September 30 or October 1.
We expect this cold front to be moderate or quite strong.
However, at the present time, from late September to October, the worrying impact of these cold air masses will often cause strong winds and more thunderstorms at sea.
With such forecast intensity, will the temperature in the North decrease significantly, sir?
- This is the transition time from hot to cold season so the impact of temperature reduction is not yet worrying. The weather is very hot and stuffy so when the cold air mass arrives it will only partially neutralize the temperature, not pulling the temperature down too much.
However, compared to the highest temperature of the day now, when the northeast monsoon comes, the temperature will decrease quite quickly.
The highest temperature in recent days in the North has been around 33 - 34 degrees Celsius, but in the coming cold air, the temperature will drop to only around 26 - 27 degrees Celsius.
The plains can drop to 20 - 23 degrees Celsius, people will feel the cool autumn weather is present. The mountainous areas can drop below 20 degrees Celsius, the weather is cold at night and in the morning.
Will the cold air at this time cause rain, sir?
- The cold air masses that appear at the beginning of this season will almost certainly cause rain because of the conflict between the warm and cold air masses. The North may experience relatively heavy rain with thunderstorms, lightning, and hail as soon as the cold air mass arrives.
However, the rain lasts very short, after the rain it will quickly turn to a dry state.
Thank you very much!
