The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting has issued a meteorological assessment for this weekend and next week (from October 13 to October 18).
Hanoi area
From October 13 to 18, Hanoi will have rain in some places, with scattered fog and light fog in the early morning; intermittent sunshine in the afternoon.
Northern Region
From October 13 to 18, the North is forecast to have rain in some places, with scattered fog and light fog in the early morning; intermittent sunshine in the afternoon. In particular, the mountainous and midland areas of the North from about October 14 to 16 are likely to have scattered showers and thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms are likely to produce tornadoes, hail and strong gusts of wind.
Water levels on rivers in the Northern region will change slowly next week.
Central Region
North Central region from October 13 to October 18, forecasted to have rain in some places, early morning fog and scattered light fog.
The Central Central region has scattered showers and thunderstorms in some places; on October 14-15, there will be scattered showers and thunderstorms, with some places having moderate to heavy rain.
In the South Central region from October 13 to 18, there are forecasts of scattered showers and thunderstorms in some places, especially in the late afternoon and evening.
Thunderstorms are likely to produce tornadoes, hail and strong gusts of wind.
Water levels on rivers in the Central region change slowly.
Central Highlands and Southern Region
From October 13 to 18, the Southern Central Highlands and the Southern region are forecast to have showers and scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening, with some places experiencing heavy rain. Thunderstorms are likely to have tornadoes, whirlwinds and strong gusts of wind.
Water levels on rivers in the Central Highlands change slowly. Water levels on rivers in the South fluctuate with the tides.
Oceanographic situation assessment
From October 13 to 18, in the North East Sea, waves ranged from 2 to 3 meters, with rough seas. In the sea area from Quang Tri to Binh Thuan, from October 12 to 15, waves ranged from 1.5 to 2.5 meters, then gradually decreased, generally ranging from 1 to 2 meters. In other areas, waves were generally less than 2 meters.
Warning of high tides and big waves from October 17 to October 22, the tide level along the Southeast coast remains high. High tides occurring in the early morning and late afternoon increase the risk of flooding in low-lying coastal areas, riverbanks, and areas outside the dykes in the Southeast and slow down the flood drainage process, in case of flooding on the Mekong River.
The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting predicts that next week, there is little possibility of a tropical cyclone appearing in the East Sea.
