Hot weather in Ho Chi Minh City on the 4th and 5th days of Tet (February 13-14)

According to the Southern Hydrometeorological Station, the continental cold high pressure is currently weakening and shifting to the east.

In the Southeast sea, the Northeast wind operates with strong intensity, gradually decreasing in intensity from the night of February 13. Above, the subtropical high pressure lifts its axis to the North, crossing the Central and South Central regions, operating strongly and stably.

Based on the above main weather patterns, the Southern Hydrometeorological Station forecasts the weather in Ho Chi Minh City from February 13-14 (from the 4th to the 5th of Tet), with variable clouds and no rain. Sunny days, some places will be hot, creating a rather uncomfortable feeling when participating in outdoor activities.

The highest temperature is commonly from 33-35 degrees Celsius, some places above 35 degrees Celsius; the lowest is 24-26 degrees Celsius.

"Hot and dry weather occurring from noon to afternoon like this will have a negative impact on health and we need to be careful of fires and explosions" - The Southern Hydrometeorological Station issued a warning.
