Vietnam weather: Sunny North and rainy South

weather forecast heavy rain thunderstorms flood warning tropical convergence zone

Vietnam is experiencing varied weather patterns across different regions. Northern Vietnam is largely seeing sunny days with occasional showers in the late afternoon or evening, with temperatures ranging between 31-34 degrees Celsius. A potential cold air mass may arrive by mid-next week, bringing increased rainfall and lower temperatures.

Central Vietnam is seeing a reduction in heavy rain, with only scattered showers expected in provinces such as Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Tri, and Hue. Meanwhile, the Central Highlands and Southern Vietnam continue to face heavy rain and thunderstorms, particularly in the afternoons and evenings. Rainfall in these southern regions may exceed 60mm in some areas.

Authorities have issued warnings for thunderstorms, lightning, hail, and strong gusts of wind, which could impact agriculture and infrastructure. In Ho Chi Minh City, heavy rain combined with high tides may cause flooding in low-lying areas and along riverbanks. Maritime warnings have also been issued for several sea areas, including the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea, due to the risk of whirlwinds and high waves.
