Commenting on the highlights of the weather trend forecast for 2025, Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam, Deputy Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said that from January to March 2025, it is necessary to guard against the appearance of strong cold spells causing widespread cold, frost, and frost in the northern mountainous areas.

During the dry season in early 2025, saline intrusion in the Mekong Delta was higher than the average of many years.

It is forecasted that from February to April 2025, saltwater intrusion will increase, affecting people's lives and agriculture in localities. However, saltwater intrusion will not be as serious as in the dry seasons of 2015-2016 and 2019-2020.

From March to July 2025, local drought and water shortage outside the water supply areas of irrigation works are likely to occur in the provinces from Phu Yen to Binh Thuan, Kon Tum, Gia Lai, and Dak Lak.

Heat waves are likely to begin appearing in the Southern and Central Highlands regions around the first half of March.

The Northwestern region, the mountainous region of the Northwestern Central region around April and the Northeastern region, the coastal region of the Central region from around May onwards. It is likely that the heat wave in 2025 will not be as severe and prolonged as in 2024.

According to Mr. Lam, the storm season in the East Sea is likely to be similar to the average of many years around June. The number of storms/tropical depressions in the East Sea and affecting the mainland is likely to be at the average of many years (about 11-13 storms in the East Sea and about 5-6 storms affecting our mainland).

In 2025, it is forecast that there will be about 20 large-scale heavy rains nationwide, at a level approximately equal to the average of many years. Large-scale heavy rains are likely to start in June in the North, then gradually move south and end around December in the Central provinces.

The Southeast region needs to pay attention to high tides. The Southeast coast will have 6 high tides, on March 1-6; March 28-April 3; April 27-May 3; October 7-13; November 4-10 and December 4-10. Of which, the highest high tides will fall in the last months of 2025. On November 4-10 and December 4-10, the water level at Vung Tau station can reach over 4.3 m.
