TPO - The meteorological agency forecasts that in July, Ho Chi Minh City will experience several periods of widespread rain, with moderate to heavy, and even very heavy rain occurring in some areas, most likely in the first and last weeks of the month, while the rain is likely to decrease in the middle week of the month.
Forecasts for the first 10 days of July indicate that the Southern region will be primarily influenced by the southern edge of a low-pressure trough at approximately 24-27 degrees North latitude, connected to a gradually weakening hot low-pressure area to the west. Southwest monsoon winds will generally be of moderate intensity. A fairly strong subtropical high-pressure system, with its axis generally at approximately 25-30 degrees North latitude, will also be present.
In Ho Chi Minh City, the first 10 days of the month will see heavy rainfall, ranging from scattered to widespread, with some areas experiencing moderate to heavy rain. Be prepared for tornadoes, strong winds, and lightning strikes during thunderstorms. Heavy rains may cause flooding in the city center. The average temperature will be 0.2-0.4°C higher than the average for the same period. The total weekly rainfall will be approximately 80-150mm, higher than the average for the same period.
