On the afternoon of December 3, thunderstorms are developing and causing rain, thunderstorms and lightning in the Ho Chi Minh City area. In addition, thunderstorms in the Dong Nai area tend to move towards the Southeast of Ho Chi Minh City.
In the next 0-3 hours, thunderstorms will continue to develop, causing showers, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning in the above area.
Rainfall is generally from 2-10 mm, in some places over 15 mm. During thunderstorms, beware of tornadoes, hail and strong gusts of wind around level 5-7 (8-17 m/s), heavy rain causing localized flooding.
The thunderstorms are caused by the cold continental high pressure weakening in the North. The Northeast wind over the Southeast sea is operating with decreasing intensity.
Above, the subtropical high pressure with an axis over the Central region is operating stably. The equatorial low pressure trough with an axis of 3-7 degrees North latitude has a weak impact on the South.
Weather forecast for the next 24-48 hours, cold continental high pressure will strengthen and weaken in the North. Northeast wind in the Southeast sea will gradually decrease in intensity.
Above, the subtropical high pressure with an axis through the Central region is operating stably. The equatorial low pressure trough with an axis of 3-7 degrees North latitude gradually rises to the North, weakly affecting the South.
The cold continental high pressure on December 6-7 will strengthen in the North and Central regions, then diffuse to the South. The northeast wind in the sea off the Southeast will gradually decrease in intensity until December 7, then increase rapidly again.
Above, the subtropical high pressure is stable, then gradually lifts its axis to the North. The equatorial low pressure trough weakens and lowers its axis to the South.
Therefore, in the next 2-3 days, the Southern region will have an unseasonal rain with the possibility of widespread rain, with some places having moderate rain, locally heavy rain. Be careful during thunderstorms with the possibility of tornadoes, lightning and strong gusts of wind.
