A cold spell is forecast to hit HCM City next week, causing the temperature to fall to below 20 degrees Celsius on some days.

According to Le Thi Xuan Lan, an expert from the Southern Region Hydro-Meteorological Centre, the northern region of Vietnam will face continuous cold spells from now until the end of the year. On December 22-23, a strong cold front will arrive, resulting in a sharp temperature fall for northern localities, particularly in mountainous areas.
