Upside down because of the first rain, erratic weather

The rain that started from the night of May 12 to the morning of May 13 in the Northern provinces completely stopped the hot air, but made many people quite surprised.

Mr. Binh, working at Hanoi Green Hospital, said to go from his house (in Kim Nguu) to an office on Tran Phu Street, which took him nearly 1 hour. Heavy rain at peak hours people poured into the road to the agency, so there was a local traffic congestion.

Especially, Kim Lien tunnel early in the morning was also flooded by rain (information from the meteorological and hydrometeorological center said that it had measured the rainfall from last night to this morning is 15mm in the inner city of Ha. Internal).

Many vehicles circulating in the direction of Pham Ngoc Thach - Dai Co Viet through Kim Lien tunnel were careful to move little by little.

On some online forums, quite a few people said they were a bit surprised because of the heavy rain that lasted from last night to this morning. After hearing the weather forecast is cool after the 11/5 thunderstorm, many people do not follow the weather situation next so they do not know whether to start from the evening of 12/5 will continue to have rain (relative rainfall ) due to the weather changing from hot to cold.

The rain made Hanoi really cool down (it was still quite hot and hot yesterday). There are people who do not know the outside temperature plummeted to only 24 degrees (down more than 10 degrees from yesterday).

Ms. Lien took her son to Gia Thuy Kindergarten (Long Bien, Hanoi). In the early morning, she still wore her shirt pants, but halfway to the street, she had to return to change her clothes because it was cold.

In addition, as noted, there are quite a lot of parents because of the rain and rain, so bringing their children to school is very hasty. Many employees chose to take a bus or a taxi to avoid heavy rain.

However, not everyone caught a taxi because the demand for calling cars this morning was quite high.

Hanoi is cold until the middle of next week

At present, the temperature in the Northern provinces decreases sharply and the cool and cold weather forecast will last until the middle of next week.

Mr. Le Thanh Hai, Deputy Director of the Central Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting said: ' The rainfall measured on May 13 in Hanoi is 15 mm. The relatively large rain is caused by the air turning from hot to cold. Forecast of rain will last 1-2 days'.

Hai added that the monsoon, cold air that is affecting the North appears at this time with nothing unusual. Normally in May and even June every year, the North still receives cold (weak) waves alternating between hot sun waves.

The rain lasted from last night to this morning (and still continues) causing the temperature of the whole North to drop sharply. Hanoi temperature is 35-36 degrees, but by May 13, it has reduced to only 24 degrees (lowest in the night and dawn: 21 degrees). The neighboring provinces are also affected by cold air: Hai Phong: 23 degrees, Viet Tri - Phu Tho: 24 degrees, Vinh - Nghe An: 26 degrees.

Cold air also spread strongly to the central provinces. In the past heat wave, the Central region pan fire when temperatures are up to 37-38 degrees but on the morning of May 13, the whole area extends from Thanh Hoa to Thua Thien Hue, the temperature drops to 24-27 degrees. The highest is only 29-32 degrees.

With the rest of the country (Da Nang to Binh Thuan, Tay Nguyen, and South), the thermal background also fluctuates only at 22-28 degrees.
