In the next 24-48 hours, a low pressure trough with an axis of about 25-28 degrees North latitude connected to the hot low pressure area to the West will continue to develop and expand to the Southeast.
Above, the subtropical high pressure through the Central region raises its axis across the North Central region, operating strongly, combined with easterly wind disturbances at high altitudes dominating the area. Southwest winds in the Southern sea areas maintain weak intensity.
From 3-10 days, the low pressure trough crossing the North will continue to be compressed and gradually move southward, crossing the South Central Coast and the South and then become more active.
From June 2nd, the low pressure trough tends to weaken due to the subtropical high pressure branch in the South encroaching upwards. Above, the subtropical high pressure has an axis crossing the North, expanding its circulation to the South and operating strongly, then gradually weakening. Southwest winds also tend to gradually strengthen in the next 24-48 hours.
Due to the influence of the above weather patterns, hot sun continues to occur in the central and northern areas of Ho Chi Minh City. The highest temperature is commonly 35-36 degrees Celsius, in some places above 36 degrees Celsius; the lowest humidity is about 45-50%. The hot sun concentrates from 12-16 pm daily.
It is forecast that hot weather will continue in Ho Chi Minh City until around May 27 and then gradually decrease. The probability of thunderstorms will also increase.
The meteorological agency warns that hot weather combined with low air humidity increases the risk of fires and explosions in residential areas and forest fires. At the same time, prolonged hot weather can also easily cause dehydration, exhaustion and heatstroke due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
