Last week, the region was affected by a cold air mass, with humidity at only 30-50%. This led to clear skies, dry conditions, and sharply falling temperatures at night and in the morning. Many areas in the midland and mountainous northern regions consistently saw temperatures below 10 degrees, with high mountainous areas dropping below 5 degrees, experiencing frost and hoarfrost.
The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting stated that from november 30 to december 2, cold air will continue to strengthen. However, due to the absence of the upper-level divergent wind field, northern Vietnam will become cloudy at night. Minimum temperatures in the midland and mountainous areas will rise to 14-17 degrees, and in the plains to 17-19 degrees.
Concurrently, air humidity will increase, and the prolonged dry conditions of recent days will gradually subside. Daytime high temperatures in the northern region will remain around 23-26 degrees.

The US-based Accuweather website forecasts Ha Noi's daytime high temperatures next week to gradually decrease from 25 degrees at the start of the week to 19 degrees by the weekend, with nighttime lows of 16-17 degrees. High-altitude locations above 1,500 meters, such as Sa Pa (Lao Cai), will see temperatures fluctuate between 10-16 degrees Celsius during the week.
Central Vietnam, from Quang Tri to Quang Ngai, will be cloudy with scattered rain until tomorrow. From december 2 to 4, under the influence of the weakened circulation of a tropical depression from storm Koto combined with cold air, the central coastal region may experience heavy rain, which will gradually decrease after december 4.
Meanwhile, Ha Tinh to Hue City may see scattered rain from december 3-5, with temperatures generally below 25 degrees. In the region from Da Nang to Binh Thuan, temperatures in the northern half will range from 24-27 degrees, and in the southern half from 28-30 degrees.
In the Central Highlands, scattered rain will persist tomorrow and expand from december 2-4, influenced by the weakened circulation of a tropical depression from storm Koto. From december 5, rain will rapidly decrease, with daytime high temperatures in the Central Highlands below 29 degrees, and in the southern region 30-33 degrees Celsius.
