The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting has issued a noteworthy weather trend forecast for the next month (from now until April 10). Accordingly, during this period, it is likely to record some noteworthy weather changes.
Regarding the temperature trend, the average temperature is generally approximately equal to the multi-year average of the same period, especially in the Northern and North Central regions, it is 0.5 - 1.5 degrees Celsius higher than the multi-year average of the same period.
Cold air in the forecast period continues to be active but tends to deviate to the east. Small rain, drizzle with fog occurs in the northeastern provinces and North Central region mainly concentrated in the first half of the forecast period.
Cold air is likely to cause strong winds and big waves affecting the activities of ships and boats. On land, easterly and perverted cold air can cause light rain, drizzle and fog, especially in the northeastern and North Central provinces, which will affect people's activities.
Previously, cold air from February 11 to March 10 had 3 cold air waves on February 18, March 3 and March 9. The cold air waves mainly caused cold and scattered rain for the Northern region.
Hot weather from now until March, continues to occur in the Southeast region. In April, hot weather tends to increase in intensity and expand to the Southwest region and some places in the Central Highlands. In the Northwest region and the western mountainous region of the North Central region, hot weather may appear from around the end of March.
Hot weather phenomena can affect people's lives and production.
Previously, in the Southeast region, widespread heat occurred from February 16 - February 20 with the highest daily temperature reaching 37 - 37.5 degrees C. This is also the first widespread heat wave in 2026 (earlier than the average of many years in the same period).
Regarding the rainfall trend, the total rainfall nationwide is generally at a level close to the multi-year average; especially in the Northeast region and the Central Highlands, the rainfall is 10 - 25mm lower than the multi-year average of the same period.
The Central Central region has higher rainfall from 5 - 15mm compared to the average of many years in the same period.
In the coming month, the Northern regions, Thanh Hoa to Quang Ngai and eastern Gia Lai to Dak Lak are still likely to experience some widespread rains.
Dangerous weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind are likely to occur nationwide.
Regarding sea weather, in the next month, it is forecast that storms/tropical depressions are unlikely to appear in the East Sea area. According to multi-year averages, there are 0.2 storms/tropical depressions in the East Sea and they will not make landfall in Vietnam.
In the context of climate change, weather, and climate are increasingly complicated with many dangerous and extreme forms. Therefore, it is proposed that all levels of government and people regularly update and integrate weather and hydrological forecasting and warning information in 1-3-day short-term bulletins to promptly adjust production plans and appropriate response plans, ensuring safety for production and people's livelihoods.
