In the beginning of March, dry heat hit nationwide provinces and cities; especially the Southern region including Ho Chi Minh City with the highest temperature up to 37 degrees Celsius.

At the end of May, the Southern region is predicted to enter the rainy season later than annually whereas, the Northern and Central regions will face three or four cold spells. 

From March 31, showers and thunderstorm are likely to appear in the Northern region on the large scale.
