​Cold spell to bring heavy downpours to northern Vietnam

The bad weather patterns will be brought to the Southeast Asian’s northern localities when the cold spell extends its influence on the area on Sunday evening, according to the National Center for Hydro-meteorological Forecasting.

Provinces and cities in the regions have already been impacted by rainfall in the past few days, which was caused by the combined effect of a trough.

The cold front is currently located north of Vietnam and is slowing moving southward.

As it enters northern part of the country, the weather will be worsened with downpours and thunderstorms.

Low temperature is also expected at night and early in the morning.

Residents in the affected areas, especially those living in mountainous localities, have been advised to carry out measures to prepare for heavy downpours, lightning, and potential flashfloods and landslides.
