In the next 24-48 hours, the weather in the South will be affected by a low pressure trough connecting to the hot low pressure area in the West being compressed and gradually moving southward, while the Southwest wind is operating at medium intensity. Above, the subtropical high pressure tends to encroach westward, creating favorable conditions for thunderstorms to develop.
In the period from 3-10 days, the West low pressure will continue to develop and expand to the Southeast. The low pressure trough will gradually become stronger and then weaken at the end of the period, while the Southwest wind in the South will increase in intensity.
From now until May 31, Ho Chi Minh City and southern provinces and cities will experience moderate rain, heavy rain and widespread thunderstorms. Total rainfall is commonly from 90-150 mm, with some places over 150 mm.
