Monitoring on satellite cloud images, weather radar and lightning positioning shows that convective cloud areas are developing strongly, causing thunderstorms accompanied by lightning in many areas of An Thoi Dong, Can Gio communes...
In the next 3 hours, convective clouds will continue to develop, causing widespread showers and thunderstorms in the above areas, then it is likely to spread to neighboring localities such as Thanh An commune, Binh Duong ward, Hoa Loi ward, Vinh Tan ward, Binh Gia commune, Hoa Hoi commune, Xuan Son commune, Binh Chau commune, Phuoc Thanh commune, Phu Giao commune and surrounding areas.
Common rainfall is from 5-20 mm, in some places over 30 mm. During thunderstorms, people need to be wary of tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind at level 5-7 (8-17 m/s). Heavy rain can cause localized flooding in low-lying areas.
According to forecasts, in the next 24-48 hours, the low pressure trough with an axis of about 25-28 degrees North latitude connected to the hot low pressure area to the West will be compressed and gradually move southward, while gradually filling up due to the impact of the continental high pressure to the North.
The low pressure trough with an axis of about 8-10 degrees North latitude also tends to raise its axis to the North. Southwest winds operate with weak to moderate intensity. Above, the subtropical high pressure continues to raise its axis to the North and gradually encroach to the West.
In the period from 3-10 days, the low pressure trough at about 25-28 degrees North latitude tends to gradually fill up, while the low pressure trough passing through the South is more active before raising its axis to the North and gradually weakening at the end of the period.
Southwest winds in the South will gradually strengthen. Above, subtropical high pressure maintains strong activity with its axis passing through the North, then gradually weakens at the end of the forecast period.
Therefore, the Southern region's hot weather is gradually cooling down, and thunderstorms appear more frequently. The meteorological agency warns that thunderstorms accompanied by tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind can affect agricultural production, causing trees to fall, damage to houses, traffic works and infrastructure. Flooding can also cause traffic congestion, affecting people's lives and crops.
