In the next 24-48 hours, the continental high pressure will continue to move eastward and gradually weaken, forming a low pressure trough stretching across the area of 24-28 degrees North latitude, connecting to the hot low pressure area to the West. The low pressure trough to the South has axis of about 4-7 degrees North latitude, tending to slightly raise to the North and then weaken.
Above, the subtropical high pressure with its axis passing through the North Central region is operating relatively stably. Upper-level wind disturbances are weak in the Southern region.
In the next 3-10 days, the low pressure trough passing through the area of 24-28 degrees North latitude connecting to the hot low pressure area in the West will be compressed and gradually move south through the Northern region due to the continental high pressure mass from the North strengthening.
Around May 15-16, the possibility of forming a low pressure trough in the Northwest - Southeast direction will pass through the Central region and the southern area of the East Sea.
Above, the subtropical high pressure with its axis through the North Central region tends to gradually lower its axis southward, while weakening and slightly withdrawing eastward. Around May 17-18, this axis is likely to pass through the South Central region and the South.
Forecast for the next 24-48 hours, hot weather will continue to occur on a large scale in Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces and cities, with intense heat appearing in some places. Highest temperature 35-37 degrees C, in some places above 37 degrees C. Relatively low humidity 40-50%.
Hot weather is likely to last for the next few days. The Southern region is commonly 35-36 degrees Celsius, especially the Southeast region has places exceeding 37 degrees Celsius; the hot weather concentrates from 12:00-16:00.
