During the main ceremony is the last heat wave
Both pressured by the heavy workload and tired from the prolonged heat, Ms. Minh An (District 4, Ho Chi Minh City) is looking for an ideal place to “escape” the heat for the upcoming holidays. next. However, looking at the weather forecast, she only sees hot weather everywhere, so she still hasn’t decided where to go on vacation. “Is it possible to hide in an air-conditioned room for 5 days? There must be somewhere cooler or less hot and close to Ho Chi Minh City to avoid having to spend a lot of time traveling?”, Ms. Minh An said.
Da Lat is still the ideal choice in terms of temperature
As of noon on April 24, the actual temperature recorded at meteorological stations in the South was commonly from 36 to nearly 38 degrees Celsius. Specifically, the highest temperature was 37.6 degrees Celsius recorded in Tay Ninh, while in Binh Duong and Binh Phuoc are also above 37 degrees Celsius, corresponding to the level of intense heat. The Western provinces are also not cooler with common temperatures ranging from 35 to nearly 37 degrees Celsius. The National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting said: From April 27, the heat tends to increase in intensity and is likely to increase. lasting for many days to come.
During the holidays from April 27 to May 1, the Southern region is hot, in some places it is extremely hot. There is optimistic news that in the evening and at night there will be showers and thunderstorms in some places. The lowest temperature is from 22 – 25 degrees Celsius, the highest is from 35 – 37 degrees Celsius, with some places over 37 degrees Celsius. Particularly in Ho Chi Minh City, the days are hot and extremely hot, the highest temperature is up to 38 degrees C, the probability of rain is only 10 – 20%. In Can Tho City, the heat is 35 – 37 degrees Celsius.
Hydrometeorological forecasting expert Le Thi Xuan Lan informed: On forecast models, it can be seen that at 1:00 a.m. on April 28, the hot Indo-Burmese depression controlled most of western Asia, then developed. and expands to the east – northeast corresponding to Southeast Asia. Vietnam is also one of the countries greatly affected by this intensified heat wave. Therefore, the upcoming holidays in the South will still suffer from intense heat, even in some places the heat will be especially intense with temperatures above 39 degrees Celsius.
“Most likely, this is the last heatwave in this year’s dry season. In recent days, the southwest wind has appeared, signaling that the rainy season is approaching,” Ms. Lan said. Specifically, stations on the islands of Phu Quoc (Kien Giang) and Phu Quy (Binh Thuan) and on the mainland such as Rach Gia, Ca Mau, Vung Tau… have recorded the appearance of southwest winds. However, the southwest wind is still weak and operates at low levels. Because it’s early in the season and the sun is still intense, the rain only appears in a small area, and the rain time is short, so it can’t cool down the intense heat. Starting from the second half of this week, there will be seasonal rain in some places.
Meanwhile, for about 10 days in mid-May, there will be a low pressure vortex in the Bay of Bengal, creating conditions for southwest winds to drag from this bay into the Gulf of Thailand. Thanks to that, in the South, the southwest wind becomes stronger, the thickness of the southwest wind grows higher with a thick layer from the ground up to 5,000 – 6,000 m. At that time, the South will have southwest winds at the beginning of the season, there will be more rain and the air will begin to cool down.
