On the afternoon of November 3, convective clouds are developing, causing showers and thunderstorms in the areas of Dong Nai, Ho Chi Minh City, Ba Ria - Vung Tau, and Binh Phuoc.
In the next hour, thunderstorms will continue to develop, causing showers, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning in the above areas, then expanding to other neighboring areas.
Rainfall is generally from 2-10 mm, in some places over 13 mm. During thunderstorms, beware of tornadoes, hail and strong gusts of wind of about level 5-7, heavy rain causing localized flooding.
The thunderstorms are caused by stable continental cold high pressure. The low pressure trough with an axis of about 6-11 degrees North latitude remains active. Above, the subtropical high pressure has an axis over the North.
Weather forecast for the next 24 hours: continental cold high pressure will be stable, then will be strengthened to the North. Low pressure trough with axis through the South will remain, then gradually move to the South.
Above, the subtropical high pressure axis descends southward through the Central Central region. Over the southern seas, the northeast wind has moderate intensity.
From 72 hours onwards, the continental high pressure will continue to strengthen in the North and North Central regions, gradually moving eastward on November 9-10 and then weakening.
The low continues to gradually shift its axis southward, weakening and fading. Above, the subtropical high pressure has an axis across the Central Central region, gradually strengthening and encroaching on the West by around November 8-9. In the southern seas, the Northeast wind has moderate intensity.
Therefore, in the coming days, the weather in the South will have scattered showers and thunderstorms in many places with some places having moderate to heavy rain, with the possibility of rain in the early morning.
Regarding high tides, water levels at most stations in the downstream of the Saigon - Dong Nai River continued to rise slowly in the afternoon of November 3. After reaching its peak, water levels fell rapidly following the tide. High water levels above alert level I remained until the end of November 6.
