Cold spell to cause temperatures to drop as the north faces frosty conditions
A strong cold spell is forecast to hit the country's northern and north-central regions starting from February 13, bringing with it spells of rain, frost, and a drop in temperatures to below six degrees Celsius in some mountainous areas.
According to the National Centre for Hydro-meteorological Forecasting, scattered rains and showers are expected to hit the north from February 20, with rainfall of between 30mm to 50mm, with this even reaching 70mm in some places.
Provinces in the northern and north-central regions are therefore likely to experience temperatures of as low as 11 degrees Celsius.
In addition, temperatures in mountainous areas will fall below six degrees Celsius and frost is forecast at nights and in the early morning.
Elsewhere, Hanoi will face light rain and temperatures ranging between 12 to 14 degrees Celsius.
