In the context of complicated heavy rain, the flexible operation of hydroelectric reservoirs, ensuring safety downstream is considered a key factor in natural disaster prevention in the North.
According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, today, November 12, cold air will strengthen and flood into the North. From Thanh Hoa to Hue, there will be scattered rain.
Due to the influence of cold air being continuously strengthened combined with the high-altitude phase, from November 13-15, in the Northern region, Thanh Hoa and Nghe An, there will be few clouds and sunny days.
During the days of November 13-15, the lowest temperature at night in the Northern region, Thanh Hoa and Nghe An will drop sharply, generally in the range of 16-18 degrees Celsius, in the mountainous areas of the North, some places will be below 13 degrees Celsius.
