According to the Southern Vietnam Regional Meteorological and Hydrological Station, the weather patterns affecting Ho Chi Minh City are as follows: Currently, the continental cold high pressure system (cold air) continues to weaken. From around March 25-26, there is a possibility of a low-pressure trough forming with its axis at approximately 25-28 degrees North latitude, connected to a low-pressure area to the West that tends to develop and gradually expand eastward, then be compressed and gradually fill up. Around March 28, it is likely to strengthen again. At higher altitudes, the subtropical high pressure system is weakening and gradually withdrawing its circulation eastward.

"Be prepared for strong sunshine and low humidity, which will make the outdoor air hot and dry, and for unseasonal thunderstorms," the Southern Region Meteorological and Hydrological Station reported.
