Currently, the Southern region is entering the dry season, what is your assessment of the weather during this period?
- Up to this point, the La Nina phase is at a neutral threshold, tending towards a cold phase. In the first months of 2025, the La Nina phenomenon is unlikely to occur.
The weather in the South this year is not special. In the first months of 2025, there will be unseasonal rain, not lasting long, not much rain.
However, unseasonal rains are common - potentially causing negative impacts on agricultural production and community life in affected areas.
What is your prediction for the heat wave in 2025?
- The hot season in 2025 is likely to come early, but the heat level will not be as severe as in 2024, including the absolute highest temperature with the number of hot days in the Ho Chi Minh City area.
From April to June 2025, neutrality is more likely than La Nina; the likelihood of El Nino is almost negligible.
Therefore, the rainfall forecast results of the models in the Southern region in April-June 2025 are approximately higher than the average of many years.
The average temperature in April-June 2025 is generally 0.3-0.8 degrees Celsius higher than the average of many years.
Widespread heat waves occurred frequently in April and May, but the severity was not as high as in 2024.
In the coming time, how will the Southern region have unseasonal rains, sir?
- In general, during the dry season, there are still unseasonal rains. The characteristic of these rains is that they occur quickly and do not last long. From January to March, there are quite a few unseasonal rains with common rainfall ranging from light to moderate lasting for a few days.
Unseasonal rains are likely to occur during the dry months, creating an indistinct dry season or wet dry season in the region.
So what should people pay attention to in this weather?
- The weather is mostly favorable for traffic, recreation and outdoor entertainment activities. However, the weather is relatively sunny from noon to afternoon, the morning is cold, the temperature difference can be up to nearly 10 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, the body is easily affected by the above weather type such as respiratory diseases. Besides, people also need to pay attention to the fact that unseasonal rains often occur quickly and suddenly, which can affect health.
Thank you!
