Another cold spell is forecast to hit the northern region on November 23.
Deputy Director of the National Centre for Hydrometeorological Forecasting Le Thanh Hai said that the upcoming cold spell will last until December. Rains will start to fall from November 22.
New cold spell to hit the north next week
The temperatures at night in Hanoi are forecasted to stand at between 13-15 Celsius and 16-18 Celsius during the day. He also warned that if cold air continues to move southwards, it would cause rain in the central region.
The north has experienced changeable weather.
When being asked why the temperatures were still so high even though it's the end of autumn, Hai said compared to 2014 and 2015, temperatures this November were only a bit higher than average.
"The weather was so hot last November that people had to still use their air-conditioning because of El-Nino phenomenon. The third week of this year November is hotter than previous years' temperatures, but then it will become colder next week," he said.
The highest temperature in the third week in November in Hanoi was recorded at 32 degrees Celsius.
