The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting announced that a low-pressure trough situated over the Northern region would continue to bring widespread showers and thunderstorms on the night of 2/8 and throughout 3/8. Rainfall is expected to range from 10-30 mm, with some localized areas receiving over 100 mm, and certain spots experiencing more than 90 mm within three hours.

Intense rainfall raises the risk of flash floods and landslides across the Northern region's mountainous and midland areas.

From 4/8 to 7/8, the low-pressure trough is projected to strengthen, leading to an expansion in rainfall coverage and intensity. Numerous areas throughout the Northern region could experience moderate to very heavy rain, accompanied by powerful thunderstorms.

AccuWeather forecasts temperatures in Hanoi next week to generally range from 26-32 degrees C. Sapa, a high-altitude area over 1,500 m in Lao Cai province, will experience temperatures between 18-24 degrees C.

Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, and Ha Tinh will also experience frequent showers and thunderstorms due to the low-pressure trough, lasting until the end of the week, with heavy rain possible from 4/8 to 7/8. Quang Tri is forecast to see thunderstorms return from 6/8 to 8/8.

Other Central regions generally anticipate minimal rainfall and sunny days, with no widespread heat expected.

In the Central Highlands and Southern region, the southwest monsoon will continue to weaken until the end of 3/8, resulting in reduced rainfall. However, from 4/8, the monsoon is expected to strengthen, bringing a gradual increase in rain, with localized heavy downpours and strong thunderstorms occurring in the afternoons and evenings.

Maximum temperatures for the week in the Central Highlands are projected to be 29-32 degrees C, while the Southern region will see 32-34 degrees C.
