Meanwhile, the central region from Quang Tri to Da Nang experienced low or almost no rainfall, generally below 10mm. The Central Highlands and Southern regions had scattered rain, mostly light to moderate. Specifically, Lam Dong received 38mm of rain, An Giang 24.4mm, and Ho Chi Minh City approximately 18.2mm.

Due to the influence of thunderstorms, the heatwave temporarily ended across Northern Vietnam on May 5-6. The highest temperature only reached 32-33 degrees Celsius. In the late afternoon and evening, scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely to continue in the Northwest region and the northern midland and mountainous areas.

Meteorological experts predict that from June 6th to 7th, hot weather will return to Northern Vietnam. Maximum temperatures will generally reach 35-36 degrees Celsius, with some areas reaching around 37 degrees Celsius. Interspersed with the hot days, there is still a possibility of localized thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening.

Current global meteorological forecast models predict that from around the afternoon of June 8th, a weak mass of cool air combined with a low-pressure trough and a westerly jet stream at high altitudes may cause widespread showers and thunderstorms in Northern Vietnam. The widespread heatwave will temporarily subside. Some areas may experience moderate to heavy rain accompanied by lightning and strong gusts of wind due to the "clash" between opposing air masses.
