The northern region of Vietnam will experience severe cold spells, with frost and ice in the first two months of 2025, especially in mountainous northern areas.
La Nina, with a greater possibility of occurring in the remaining months of this year, may cause the risk of heavy rains, storms and floods, especially in the central region, according to Head of the Weather Forecast Department under the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting (NCHF) Nguyen Van Huong.
La Nina is set to affect Thailand from July until January 2025 and bring more rain than usual to the northern and north-eastern regions until October, according to the weather forecast by the Meteorological Department.
According to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, there are still complex developments in the remit of natural disasters in 2019 due to the impact of El Nino phenomenon.
