The Northeast wind in the southern seas will blow strongly. Above, the subtropical high pressure with an axis through the Central region will maintain stable intensity.
In the next 3-10 days, the continental high pressure will maintain a stable intensity and then gradually weaken, the center tends to shift to the East. From around December 13, the continental cold high pressure is likely to strengthen again.
From December 8, a tropical depression in the sea east of the central Philippines may enter the East Sea and strengthen into a storm. By December 9-10, the low pressure trough will form at about 6-9 degrees North latitude, connecting with this tropical depression. The Northeast wind in the southern seas is strong, especially on December 9-12, it tends to decrease.
At the upper levels, from about December 9-10, the subtropical high pressure will be stronger and encroach on the West, and around December 13, it will begin to weaken and slowly retreat to the East.
With the above conditions, the weather in the South is generally dry, with reduced humidity, cold at night and early morning, and sunny during the day, which can affect health. In the evening and at night, there will be showers and thunderstorms in some places.
Regarding high tides, water levels at stations on the Saigon River tend to decrease slowly and remain high in the next 1-2 days, then decrease rapidly. The highest daily tide peak is above alert level 1 and will last until December 10.
