According to the Southern Hydrometeorological Station, the continental cold high pressure continues to weaken slowly and will strengthen again in the north of our country around January 26-27. Above, the subtropical high pressure with an axis through the North and Central Central regions remains strong.
“Decreased humidity, reduced air quality, and chilly weather at night and early morning can potentially affect human health,” the Southern Hydrometeorological Station warned.
The meteorological agency forecasts that from now until Tet, in Ho Chi Minh City and the southern provinces and cities, there will still be some days of fog.
