Residents in Ho Chi Minh City and other southern Vietnamese provinces should prepare for unseasonal showers in the late afternoons over the next three days, as a low-pressure trough influences the region’s weather patterns, according to the southern hydrometeorological agency.

An equatorial low-pressure trough is forecast to develop over the southern seas from Tuesday night to Friday.

Some areas may experience light morning fog, but the afternoons will still be dry and hot before the rain showers arrive in the evenings.

The low-pressure system will also create rough conditions at sea, particularly in the waters from Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province to Ca Mau Province.

Strong northeast winds at 39-61kph will generate waves of 2-3.5m, causing choppy seas and potentially hazardous maritime conditions.

From Friday onward, the low-pressure trough will weaken and shift southward, allowing hot and dry conditions to return to the southern region.

While occasional showers will persist in some areas, daytime temperatures will remain high, and low humidity will increase the risk of fires and explosions.

The regional weather agency added that during mid to late February, cold air masses from the north will continue to weaken, leading to gradual increases in temperature across southern Vietnam.

This warming trend is expected to bring occasional heatwaves, with daily highs exceeding 35 degrees Celsius in some areas. 

Meanwhile, northeast winds over coastal waters will also gradually weaken.
