In the next 24-48 hours, the continental cold high pressure will strengthen and shift southward, causing strong Northeast winds to operate in the sea area in the Southeast region. Above, the subtropical high pressure with its axis through the South Central region will maintain a stable intensity.
In the period from 3-10 days, the continental cold high pressure will continue to operate stably, then gradually weaken and is likely to be strengthened again around January 28-29. Northeast winds in the Southeast sea area will be strong in the early days, gradually decreasing around January 25-26, then tending to strengthen again at the end of the month. Above, the subtropical high pressure with its axis through the Central region will gradually become stronger and encroach to the West.
Southern weather at night has showers in some places, generally dry, reduced air humidity, posing a high risk of fires and explosions. Some days it is cold at night and early morning, sunny during the day, which can affect people's health.
In terms of hydrology, the water level at most stations on the Saigon River in the first 1-2 days changed slowly, then tended to decrease. The highest tide peak of this period is likely to appear on January 22-23 (December 4-5 of the lunar calendar). The water level at Phu An and Nha Be stations fluctuates around 1.45-1.47 m, approximately or below alarm level II; Thu Dau Mot station about 1.52-1.55 m, approximately or above alarm level II.
The highest tide peak appears around 5-7 am and 7-9 pm. It is necessary to be wary of strong Northeast winds combined with high tides causing flooding in low-lying areas, riverside areas, affecting traffic and socio-economic activities in Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring areas.
