The wind is weak, with a tendency to gradually shift to the Southwest in a few days.

Therefore, in the middle of April, the South will have no rain and hot days. In the second half of the week, there is a possibility of a few days of unseasonal rain, occurring in some places with light rainfall, mostly under 10mm. There is a possibility of intense heat from 37 - 38 degrees Celsius and above 38 degrees Celsius for a few days.

In the last week of April, the area is mainly affected by the edge of the hot low pressure in the West with the center in the North, along with the influence of the subtropical high pressure in the upper layers, which tends to lift the axis to the North and pass through the Central region.
