However, starting the night of June 14, the Northern region will see heavy rain and milder weather. Meanwhile, the Southern region will continue to experience persistent rain.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting reported that on June 13-14, the midlands and deltas of the Northern region, southern Son La, and Hoa Binh provinces will endure hot weather with temperatures ranging from 35-38°C, and some areas exceeding 38°C. The lowest relative humidity will be 50-60%.

From Thanh Hoa to Binh Thuan, the heat will intensify, with temperatures reaching 36-39°C and some places exceeding 39°C. The lowest relative humidity will be 50-55%.

The meteorological agency warns that the heatwave in the Central region is likely to persist for several days. In the Northern region, temperatures are expected to decrease gradually from June 15.

During these hot days, the Northern region will still have showers and thunderstorms in the evening and at night, particularly in mountainous areas.

From the night of June 14 to 16, the Northern region is likely to experience moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms, with some areas facing very heavy rain. From June 17 to 20, the mountainous regions will have scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly in the evening and at night.

Mr. Nguyen Van Huong, Head of the Weather Forecasting Department, mentioned that from June 14 to 16 (and possibly extending to June 17), the Northern region is expected to have a period of widespread moderate to heavy rain. The midlands and mountainous areas are likely to experience significant rainfall, which is typical for this time of year. Local authorities are advised to prepare and monitor forecasts and warnings closely.

The Central Highlands and the South are expected to see increased rainfall in the coming days.

In Ho Chi Minh City, from June 11-20, the low pressure trough affecting the Northern region is weakening. The southwest monsoon will dominate with average intensity, increasing gradually. The subtropical high pressure will extend westward, creating a wind convergence zone above 6,000 meters around June 15-16. From June 17-20, the southwest monsoon will affect up to 6,000 meters.

From now until June 14, Ho Chi Minh City will have sunny days with scattered showers and thunderstorms in the evening and at night. From June 15 to 20, rain will increase in both area and volume, with some places experiencing moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms. Thunderstorms may bring tornadoes and strong gusts of wind, posing risks to people and property.

During this period, the average temperature in Ho Chi Minh City will be 0.2-0.7°C higher than the long-term average, with lows of 24-27°C and highs of 30-34°C. Total weekly rainfall will be higher than average, ranging from 80-180mm. Heavy rain may cause flooding on some roads, especially between June 15 and 20.

Storms and tropical depressions expected in early July

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting has also forecast the weather for the next month (June 11 - July 10, 2024).

The average temperature nationwide will be 0.5-1°C higher than the long-term average. In the South Central, Central Highlands, and Southern regions, temperatures will be about 1°C higher. Rainfall is expected to be around the average for this period.

The meteorological agency warns of possible storms/tropical depressions in the East Sea, with a higher likelihood in early July 2024. This period will also see continued hot weather in the Northern and Central regions.

In the next month, the Northern and North Central regions will have many days of showers and thunderstorms, including possible widespread moderate to heavy rains lasting 2-4 days. The Central Highlands and the South will see strong southwest monsoon activity, with increased rainfall in the second half of the forecast period.

Dangerous weather phenomena such as storms, tropical storms, and strong southwest monsoon winds may cause strong winds and large waves, affecting activities in the East Sea. Strong thunderstorms, accompanied by tornadoes, lightning, hail, and strong gusts of wind, can significantly impact production and daily activities. The Central region may experience little rain and persistent hot weather, especially in the Central and South Central regions, leading to drought, water shortages, and a high risk of fire and explosion.
