According to forecasts from the meteorological agency, in the next 24 - 48 hours, the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) will have its axis passing through the Central region and the middle of the East Sea, and the tropical depression will move, gradually raising its axis to the North.
The Southwest monsoon maintains medium to strong intensity. Above, the subtropical high pressure with its axis through the North continues to encroach westward and maintains stable intensity.
In the next 3 - 10 days, the intertropical convergence zone will continue to raise its axis to the North. Southwest monsoons will still operate at medium to strong intensity, while the upper subtropical high pressure tends to gradually recede to the East.
Due to the influence of the above weather patterns, from 1:00 PM on July 3rd to 1:00 PM on July 5th, Ho Chi Minh City and Southern regions are forecast to have moderate to heavy rain, with very heavy rain in some places accompanied by thunderstorms. Total rainfall is commonly from 80 - 140 mm, with some places over 140 mm.
During thunderstorms, people need to be wary of tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind, which can cause damage to agricultural production, break down green trees, damage houses, traffic works and infrastructure. Heavy rain also poses a risk of flooding, causing traffic congestion, affecting production, living and crops.
