Weather forecast for the next 24-48 hours, the continental cold high pressure on February 16 will strengthen again in the North.
The equatorial low pressure trough in the South connects with the tropical depression in the sea area off the South Central Coast and weakens and gradually dissipates. Above, the subtropical high pressure crossing the Central region is stable.
Weather forecast for the next 3 days, the continental cold high pressure will weaken slowly, from February 21 it will strengthen again to the North.
Above, the subtropical high pressure crossing the Central region will operate stably, weakening from February 19 and gradually retreating to the East.
Mr. Le Dinh Quyet - Head of Forecasting Department of the Southern Hydrometeorological Station said: "The South is in the dry season, but the low pressure area creates favorable conditions for the formation of low-level clouds, causing rain. However, because the continental cold high pressure is still active, the elevation of the phasing field in the Central region still exists, so the humidity in the air is still low, the clouds are developing but the cloud area is not large".
Therefore, the cold weather in the South at night and early morning can affect health. From February 19, the probability of rain will increase again, with rain in some places with moderate to heavy rain.
