Specifically, from the night of March 28 to 29, the continental high pressure will strengthen weakly. By around March 30-31, the hot low pressure area in the West is likely to develop and gradually expand to the Southeast and form a low pressure trough. In the last 1-2 days, this low pressure trough will be compressed and gradually pushed southward by the continental high pressure in the North, which is likely to cause thunderstorms accompanied by tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind, affecting human life, agricultural production, causing trees to fall, damage houses, traffic works and infrastructure.

In addition, it is forecasted that from March 31 to April 7, there will be hot weather in most localities in Nghe An , some places will be hot with temperatures above 26 degrees Celsius such as Thai Hoa town, Quy Chau, Que Phong... which can affect people's health and increase the risk of explosions and fires.
