On the afternoon of May 23, through monitoring satellite cloud images, lightning positioning images and weather radar, it was shown that convective clouds are still existing and developing in the areas of Tay Ninh, Dong Thap, Vinh Long... In the next 4 hours, these convective cloud dens will continue to cause showers and thunderstorms in the above areas, and then have the potential to spread to neighboring localities. During thunderstorms, people need to be wary of tornadoes, lightning, hail, and strong gusts of wind; and be wary of the risk of flash floods on small rivers and streams and landslides in steep slopes.
In the next 24-48 hours, the hot low pressure from the West will continue to expand to the Southeast. The low pressure trough with the Northwest - Southeast axis extending from the North to the Southeast of the East Sea will continue to be maintained.
Wind in the sea area of Ho Chi Minh City and the South is weak. Above, subtropical high pressure passes through the South Central Coast and the South encroaching westward, operating quite strongly.
From now until about 10 days, the above-mentioned low pressure trough will still be operating. From May 27, the low pressure trough tends to be compressed to the South and operate more strongly due to the impact of the booster part moving down from the North combined with a subtropical high pressure at high altitude encroaching westward.
Southwest winds will also gradually strengthen. Above, subtropical high pressure passing through the South Central and Southern regions tends to raise its axis to the North, weaken and retreat between May 25-26, then from May 27 it will encroach westward again.
Due to the influence of the above weather pattern, the Southeast region in the coming days will continue to experience hot sun with the highest temperature, commonly 35-36 degrees C, in some places above 36 degrees C. The lowest humidity fluctuates from 45-50%.
In Ho Chi Minh City, hot weather occurs on a large scale, concentrated in the central and northern areas of the city. The hot weather during the day is mainly from 12-16 pm. Hot weather is likely to last until May 27.
