According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, in January, the average temperature nationwide was approximately the same as the average of many years in the same period.

Total rainfall in the North and provinces from Thanh Hoa to Da Nang during this period was generally 10-20mm lower than the average of many years; other areas were 5-10mm higher than the average of many years in the same period.

Notably, in early January (around January 1-3), a low pressure trough with an axis of about 6-9 degrees north latitude connecting with a low pressure area in the southern East Sea will cause strong winds, large waves and thunderstorms in many sea areas; after that, the low pressure trough tends to lower its axis to the south and gradually fades away.

In particular, according to meteorological experts, in January, cold air tends to be more active than in December 2024; there is a high possibility of causing many days of severe cold in the northern provinces, likely concentrated in mid-January.

In addition, during the forecast period, the southern region of the Central region is likely to experience some days of scattered showers and thunderstorms, with some areas having moderate to heavy rain; the southern region may experience some days of unseasonal rain. During thunderstorms, it is necessary to be on guard against the possibility of extreme weather phenomena such as tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind.

Meteorological experts warn that cold air and dangerous weather phenomena at sea are likely to cause strong winds and large waves that could affect shipping activities.

On land, cold air can cause many days of severe cold in the northern provinces, with the risk of frost and ice causing great impacts on livestock, crops and people's health, especially in the northern mountainous areas.

In addition, heavy rain, strong thunderstorms accompanied by tornadoes, lightning, hail and gusts of wind can greatly affect production and people's activities.
