A strong cold front will hit the region on December 29-30, causing drizzles and low temperatures, according to Nguyen Van Huong, head of the National Center for Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting.
The center also forecast that the cold weather, lasting up to four days, will persist through the New Year holiday, with the mercury dropping to below 3 degrees Celsius in mountainous areas and to 7-9 degrees Celsius at night in the plains. Some mountainous areas may see frost at below 0 degrees temperatures.
The cold snap is expected to be extreme and the strongest one since the beginning of winter.
“This kind of cold snap has been rare in the last four years," Huong said, adding that some locations will see temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius on the last day of 2020, so authorities should consider allowing primary school students to stay home.
