January is less likely to experience many bone-chilling days and the cold weather spells will be shorter.
From now until late this month, northern mountainous areas would suffer from frost which would affect agricultural activities.
The National Centre for Hydro-meteorological Forecasting also said that the temperature in the north between January and March this year would be higher than those reported in many previous years due to the El Nino phenomenon.
Meanwhile, the central region has been predicted to have rainy spells with whirlwinds and thunder and lightning. The Central Highlands and the southern region have entered the dry season with the temperature in some areas forecasted to reach up to 35 degrees centigrade. In March, the heat in southern localities would increase to 37 degrees centigrade.
