Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam – Deputy Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that the latest forecasts show that La Nina (a phenomenon of abnormally cold surface water in the equatorial Pacific Ocean) will decrease significantly in the last months of 2024 and early 2025.
With the above meteorological trend, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting predicts that in the period from December 2024 to February 2025, storm and tropical depression activities in the East Sea and affecting Vietnam’s mainland are likely to be at a level approximately equal to the average of many years (the average of many years in the East Sea is 1.4 storms; making landfall in Vietnam is 1.1 storms), concentrated in the Central region and the southern provinces and cities.
Also during the forecast period, there is a possibility of dangerous weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, lightning and strong gusts of wind occurring nationwide.
In addition, from December 2024 to February 2025, cold air is likely to become more active and cause severe cold spells. Particularly, the provinces in the Northern region are likely to experience severe cold spells over a wide area from the second half of December.
“Localities need to be on guard against the possibility of prolonged cold spells. Especially in mountainous areas, there may be severe cold accompanied by frost and ice. This phenomenon can have a major impact on agricultural production and people’s health,” Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam noted.
According to forecasts, from now until the end of November, cold air will increase in quantity and intensity, but there will be no severe cold yet.
