In the next 24-48 hours, cold air from the mainland will continue to strengthen. Northeast wind blows with moderate to strong intensity over the Southeast sea area. At high altitudes, subtropical high pressure is weak, with its axis passing through the Central region.
In the next 3-10 days, the cold air will still be maintained, then tend to move eastward and gradually weaken. Around February 11-12, the cold air is likely to strengthen again but at a weak level, then continue to weaken.
Above, the subtropical high pressure is weak; Northeast winds still maintain medium to strong intensity over the Southeast sea area.
The weather in the South is mainly dry, with low humidity, increasing the risk of fire and explosion. Some days are cold at night and early morning, while during the day it is sunny, easily affecting people's health.
The water level at most stations on the Saigon River will decrease rapidly in the coming days. However, the highest tide level of the day may still be close to or above alarm level I and will be maintained until the end of February 7.
People need to be wary of the risk of flooding in low-lying areas and riverside areas when strong Northeast winds combine with high tides. This situation may affect traffic and socio-economic activities in Ho Chi Minh City.
