January 2024 is likely to be warmer than multi-year average
According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, the monthly climate trend forecast for the period from December 21, 2023 to January 20, 2024 shows that the average temperature nationwide is generally 0.5-1.0 degrees Celsius higher than the average of many years, especially in the Northwest region, it is 1.0-2.0 degrees Celsius higher than the average of many years in the same period. During the period from December 21, 2023 to January 20, 2024, the total rainfall in the Central and South Central regions is 30-60mm higher than the average of many years. Other regions are generally approximately the same and 5-10mm lower than the average of many years in the same period.
Ms. Tran Thi Chuc, Deputy Head of Climate Forecasting Department, National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said that in January 2024, cold air tends to be weaker than the average of many years and the number of days with severe cold is lower than the average of many years.
It is forecasted that from now until the end of January 2024, cold air is likely to cause strong winds and big waves, affecting maritime and fishing activities of fishermen at sea. In addition, frost and ice may appear in some places in the northern mountainous region, greatly affecting agricultural production activities.
Due to the influence of El Nino, the winter of 2023-2024 is forecast to arrive later; the early cold spells of the season are likely to be weaker; severe cold may appear later and the number of days with severe cold tends to be less than the average of many years. Even in the main winter months, from January to March 2024, the number of days with severe cold is likely to be less than the average of many years. Severe cold spells during this period tend not to last long.
From March to May 2024, Mr. Lam said, the El Nino phenomenon will continue to persist with a probability of about 60-85% and its intensity will gradually decrease. This is also the period when storms and tropical depressions are less likely to be active in the East Sea. At the same time, in March 2024, the number of days with severe cold is likely to be less than the average and severe cold spells tend not to last long.
