Snow is forecast to continue for the next few days on “the roof of Indochina”.
The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said snowfall was caused by cold air from the north pouring down on Vietnam.
During the day, the cold air combined with wind convergence at an altitude of 5,000m affected other parts of the North, then the North and Central Vietnam.
