It is forecasted that around early morning and early morning of December 3, cold air will affect the Northeast, North Central and some places in the Northwest, then affect other places in the Northwest and some places in the Central Central. On land, strong Northeast winds will be level 3, coastal areas will be level 4-5.

The Northern and North Central regions from the night of December 3rd will experience cold weather, with some areas in the high mountains of the North experiencing severe cold. The lowest temperature during this cold spell in the Northern and North Central regions will generally be between 15-18 degrees Celsius, in the mountainous areas of the North it will generally be between 13-15 degrees Celsius, and in the high mountains it will be below 11 degrees Celsius.

Hanoi area from the night of December 3rd, the weather is cold. The lowest temperature in this cold air mass is commonly 15-18 degrees Celsius.

At sea from early morning and the morning of December 3, in the Gulf of Tonkin, the Northeast wind gradually increases to level 6, sometimes level 7, gusting to level 8, rough seas, waves 2-4m high; in the North East Sea, the Northeast wind gradually increases to level 6-7, gusting to level 8-9, rough seas, waves 3-5m high; from the afternoon of December 3, in the sea from South Quang Tri to Hue city and the sea north of the central East Sea, the Northeast wind gradually increases to level 6, gusting to level 7-8, rough seas, waves 3-5m high.

Due to the influence of the cold air strengthening combined with the circulation of the weakened low pressure area from storm No. 15, and disturbances in the East wind zone above, from the night of December 2 to 5, in the area from Quang Tri to Da Nang city, the eastern part of the provinces from Quang Ngai to Dak Lak and Khanh Hoa, there will be widespread moderate to heavy rain.

Cold weather can affect livestock and poultry; affect the growth and development of crops. Heavy rain can cause flooding in low-lying areas; flash floods on small rivers and streams, landslides on steep slopes; heavy rain in a short period of time can cause flooding in urban areas and industrial zones.

Strong winds and gusts, large waves at sea are likely to affect boating and other activities.

Water levels in the Southeast coastal region tend to rise slightly.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that from the evening of December 1 to December 2, the highest water level of the day in the eastern coast of the South will tend to increase slightly, the highest tide of the day at Vung Tau station is likely to reach 4 - 4.05m, the time of the peak tide is from 2-5pm and 10pm-2am.

It is forecasted that from December 2 to 3, the highest water level in the eastern coast of the South will tend to increase slightly, the highest tide peak of the day at Vung Tau station is likely to reach 4.05 - 4.1m. Warning level of risk due to natural disasters caused by high tides: Level I.

The eastern coastal area of the South needs to pay attention to prevent high risks of flooding and dike overflow in low-lying coastal and riverside areas, outside the dike, affecting traffic, agricultural production, aquaculture, water pollution and people's lives.

Hydrological experts note that high tides will slow down the flood drainage process on rivers in the Southeast. Low-lying coastal areas, river banks, and areas outside the dykes in the Southeast are likely to be flooded in the early morning and early afternoon. In addition, high tides during this period also increase saltwater intrusion in the fields.

To proactively respond and minimize damage caused by high tides causing flooding in the coming time, the Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention and Control under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment recommends that affected provinces and cities closely monitor forecasts and warnings, and promptly inform authorities and people at all levels to proactively prevent them.

Authorities inspect and review coastal residential areas, dykes, dams, low-lying areas with high risk of flooding to proactively organize the relocation and evacuation of people when situations arise; clear the flow, and promptly handle construction incidents from the first hour.

Provinces and cities are ready to deploy measures to drain water and protect production; reinforce and protect aquaculture ponds; harvest crops and dry crops that are ready for harvest; prevent and combat flooding in urban areas and low-lying areas, ensuring minimal damage; notify owners of water transport vehicles about flooding to proactively take measures to ensure safety for people, vehicles, equipment and works.
