The continental high pressure continues to compress down, causing the low pressure trough with an axis of about 24-27 degrees North latitude to gradually move southward and weaken. Above, the subtropical high pressure with its axis passing through the South Central region maintains stable activity.
In the coming days, the continental high pressure is likely to be slightly strengthened in the first 1-2 days and then weaken, while the hot low pressure from the West develops again. Above, the subtropical high pressure tends to recede slowly to the East and around April 1, it may encroach westward again.
Due to the influence of these weather patterns, hot weather continues to occur in Ho Chi Minh City and southern provinces and cities. In the next 24-48 hours, the highest temperature is commonly from 35-36 degrees C, the lowest humidity is about 35-45%, the hot sun concentrates from 12-15 am every day.
It is forecast that the hot weather in Ho Chi Minh City may last until around March 28. Due to the impact of hot weather, low air humidity, there is a risk of fires and explosions in residential areas and forest fires. In addition, hot weather can also cause dehydration, exhaustion, and heat stroke for the human body when exposed to high temperatures for a long time.
