First cold spell predicted for northern region


Nguyen Van Huong, head of the Climate Forecasting Department at the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said cold spells will arrive in late September and early October, earlier than previous years. The coldest period would occur in mid-December to February.

Vietnam will see the effect of the La Nina phenomenon from October. However, it will remain weak throughout 2021. There will be six to eight storms on the East Sea from now until the end of 2021. Three to four of them may affect Vietnam. It is likely that the southern region would still be affected by storms in the East Sea in January 2022.

"The authorities must be prepared for constant and heavy rains in October and November in the central and southern region," he said.

Provinces from Thanh Hoa to Thua Thien-Hue and the southern region have continued to have heavy rains on September 14-15. The rainfall in Hon Dat, Kien Giang Province, from 7 pm on September 14 to 3 am on September 15 was 184mm. It was 150.2mm in Minh Hoa, Quang Binh Province and 138.6mm in Ben Tre City.

Flashflood and landslides were warned for mountainous areas while flooding was warned for low-lying terrains.
