On January 27-28, the temperature in the North increased, ice at high points gradually melted, but was still within the cold range, with an average daily temperature of 13 degrees Celsius or lower.
Entering the fifth day of the cold spell, today the temperature in the North has increased by 1-2 degrees compared to the coldest day, January 23. The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting recorded that 11/25 provinces and cities are still cold below 10 degrees Celsius, concentrated in mountainous areas.
Ice remains only in Mau Son (Lang Son), Xin Cai (Ha Giang), but the area is narrowing due to temperatures above 0 degrees Celsius. Other high points such as Sa Pa (Lao Cai) are nearly 3 degrees Celsius; Dong Van (Ha Giang) is over 3 degrees Celsius; Tam Dao (Vinh Phuc), Cho Ra (Bac Kan) are 5-6 degrees Celsius.
The meteorological agency explained that the temperature increase was due to the cold air mass being stable and showing signs of weakening. However, the weakening process was slower than previously predicted, so the North was still experiencing severe cold on January 27-28; January 29 was very cold, with an average daily temperature of 15 to 13 degrees Celsius. There was occasional light rain.
