In the afternoon of April 28, through monitoring satellite cloud images, weather radar and lightning positioning data, it was shown that the convective cloud area is developing strongly, causing showers with thunderstorms and lightning on a large scale in wards/communes such as Tan My, Tan Hung, Phu Dinh, Dien Hong, Thoi Hoa, Hoa Loi, Phu An, Binh Co, Tan Uyen...
In the next 3 hours, convective clouds will continue to maintain and expand, continuing to cause showers with thunderstorms and lightning in the above-mentioned areas, then spreading to neighboring areas. Common rainfall is from 5-20 mm, in some places over 30 mm. During thunderstorms, it is necessary to prevent tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind at level 5-7 (8-17 m/s), with the risk of localized flooding in low-lying areas.
Weather pattern forecast for the next 24-48 hours, the low pressure trough connecting to the hot low pressure area in the West through the North continues to be compressed to the South, then weakens and gradually fills. Above, the subtropical high pressure with its axis passing through the South Central Coast and the South operates stably; high-altitude disturbances remain weak.
From April 30, high-altitude disturbances in the Southern region are likely to gradually become stronger. From about May 2, the hot low pressure area in the West tends to become strong again. Above, the subtropical high pressure slightly raises its axis to the North.
Therefore, in the next 24-48 hours, hot weather will continue to occur in the central and northern areas of Ho Chi Minh City, then tend to gradually decrease in intensity and narrow in scope from April 30.
Highest temperature 35-37 degrees C. Lowest humidity 40-50%. Hot sunny time during the day is about from 1 pm to 3 pm.
