Cold front hits Northern Vietnam

The cold front is strong, with the winter wind bringing in humidity from the sea, causing light rain. Temperatures will drop to 7-12 degrees Celsius.

The center said that on Tuesday, the cold front will lower temperatures in the north to 11-14 degrees Celsius, and drop below 5 degrees Celsius in the mountains. The strong cold front will then proceed to central Vietnam, causing rain in provinces from Thanh Hoa to Binh Thuan.

On December 15-16, the area from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai is expected to receive heavy rainfall of 50-100 mm for 24 hours. The weather is likely to remain mostly sunny next week in the Central Highlands and the southern region.
