Whether you’re an avid golfer eager to conquer our world-class course at Trang An Golf & Resort or a traveler seeking serenity amidst breathtaking landscapes, staying updated on the weather is paramount. Let’s delve into the forecast for December 2nd, brought to you by the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.
North Vietnam: A Blanket of Cold Descends
As the sun sets on December 1st, a surge of cold air will grip most of North and North Central Vietnam. Brace yourselves for a chilly night, especially in the mountainous regions. The mercury could plunge to a frigid 12-15 degrees Celsius in these elevated areas, with some peaks experiencing even lower temperatures.
Hanoi, the vibrant capital, can expect a cool day with temperatures hovering between 16-21 degrees Celsius. Light rain showers are expected in the early hours, gradually giving way to partly cloudy skies. The cool northerly breeze will remind you to pack a jacket or two.
“The recent cold snap took me by surprise,” shared Ms. Linh, a Hanoi local. “I had to bring out my warmest sweaters! But there’s a certain charm to the city when it’s misty and cool.”
Central Vietnam: From North to South, A Spectrum of Weather
Moving southward, the weather patterns become more diverse. The northern regions of Central Vietnam, encompassing Thanh Hoa to Thua Thien Hue, will experience a mix of clouds, occasional showers, and cooler temperatures ranging from 17-25 degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, the southern regions, including Da Nang to Binh Thuan, will see a warmer climate with temperatures reaching up to 32 degrees Celsius. However, be prepared for sudden downpours and thunderstorms, particularly in the afternoons and evenings.
“I always carry an umbrella during this time of year,” advised Mr. Tuan, a tour guide based in Hoi An. “The rain showers may be unexpected, but they are short-lived and add a certain mystique to the ancient town.”
South Vietnam and the Central Highlands: Tropical Warmth Prevails
Further south, the weather remains relatively unchanged. The Central Highlands will see scattered showers, while South Vietnam can expect warm and humid conditions with temperatures reaching 34 degrees Celsius. Brief spells of rain and thunderstorms are possible in the late afternoon.
