The Southern Hydrometeorological Station said that from today, the continental cold high pressure (cold air) will strengthen again in the north of our country. Above, the subtropical high pressure with an axis passing through the Central region will operate stably.

In the next 10 days, the cold air will continue to strengthen and diffuse deep into the South, from February 10 it will gradually weaken, then around February 13-14 the cold air will weaken and weaken again into the North. Around February 9-10, the equatorial low pressure trough in the south is likely to form and gradually lift its axis to the north, weakly affecting the weather in the South. Above, the subtropical high pressure crossing the Central region will operate stably.

From the above main weather patterns, the Southern Hydrometeorological Station forecasts that the weather in Ho Chi Minh City on the weekend and the coming days will continue to be cold, with fog at night and early morning, which can affect health.
