According to Mr. Nguyen Duc Hoa - Deputy Head of the Climate Forecasting Department, National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, from now until the end of April, cold air will be weak and compress low pressure troughs in southern China, which may cause thunderstorms accompanied by tornadoes, lightning, hail and dangerous strong gusts of wind in the Northern region.
In particular, thunderstorms often appear in the late afternoon, affecting people's activities" - Mr. Hoa advised.
The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting warns that the cause of dangerous weather during the transitional season is the conflict between weak cold air and hot air mass. These phenomena often occur quickly and unexpectedly, can cause roofs to be blown off, trees to be broken and fallen, and affect people's lives, production and lives.
The meteorological agency recommends that people closely monitor weather forecasts, limit going out when there are thunderstorms, and proactively reinforce houses, protect property and vehicles to minimize damage.
In addition, cold air is also likely to cause thunderstorms, tornadoes, strong winds, and large waves affecting the operation of ships and boats in the sea areas of the East Sea.
In the next month, hot weather tends to increase and expand the scope of operations.
