According to the Southern Hydrometeorological Station, thunderstorms in the South tend to increase from the evening, mainly concentrated in Ho Chi Minh City and the East.

Weather pattern forecast for the next 24-48 hours, the low pressure trough through the North Central region weakens and gradually fills, and at the same time forms a low pressure trough with axis from 24-27 degrees North latitude, tending to move southward. Southwest monsoon operates with moderate intensity. Above, the southern branch of the subtropical high pressure tends to encroach westward.

Weather pattern forecast for the next 3-10 days, a low pressure trough with axis from 24-27 degrees North latitude continues to move slowly southward. Southwest monsoon is operating at an average level and tends to strengthen from August 15.

Above, the southern branch of the subtropical high pressure continues to encroach westward, then from August 18th, it tends to gradually move southward. Upper-level wind convergence is also operating in the area.

Therefore, in the Southern region on August 12-13, rain will mainly concentrate in the late afternoon, around 1 pm to 7 pm, with rain area less than 1/2 of the area and a probability of rain of about 40-60%.

The rain area is mainly concentrated in the northern provinces of the East, including the north of Dong Nai, Tay Ninh, Ho Chi Minh City and Lam Dong. Some places may experience moderate rain, with a probability of 10-30%, but it is unlikely to have heavy rain.

In the Mekong Delta provinces, the weather is mainly less rainy, with showers and thunderstorms in some places, the rainfall is generally small, locally with moderate rain.

On August 14, during the day, the southern provinces and cities will continue to have sunshine. By the evening, thunderstorms tend to increase. The rain area will still be concentrated in the eastern region and Lam Dong, with scattered rain, some places with moderate rain, probability 30-50%; locally heavy rain may appear, probability 5-20%.

In the Mekong Delta provinces, rain also tends to appear more, some places have moderate rain with a probability of 10-30%.
