Sunny morning on February 6, Hanoi and many northern regions迎来了小雨和毛毛雨，气温骤降，天气转冷。这是国家气象水文中心发布的消息，并警告从2月7日起，一股强冷空气将对北部和中部地区产生广泛影响。
Severe Cold Spell Caused by Strong Cold Air Mass
According to forecasts, from the afternoon of February 7, a strong cold air mass will move into northeastern Vietnam, then spread to northwestern Vietnam, northern central Vietnam, central Vietnam, and parts of southern central Vietnam. Temperatures in these areas will drop sharply, especially at night and early morning.
- Northern Vietnam: Extremely cold with temperatures ranging from 9-12°C, mountainous areas from 5-8°C, and high mountain regions potentially dropping below 2°C.
- Northern Central Vietnam: Temperatures fluctuating between 11-14°C, extremely cold.
- From Quang Binh to Hue: Temperatures around 14-16°C, cold, with some areas experiencing severe cold.
Notably, meteorological authorities predict that high-altitude regions such as Mau Son, Sapa, and Pha Din have a high chance of experiencing snow and frost due to temperatures dropping below 2°C. This severe cold spell is expected to last until February 10, significantly impacting daily life and agricultural production.

Scattered Rain and Extreme Weather Risks
Due to the combined effect of the cold air mass and the jet stream in the upper westerly wind belt, from the night of February 6 to the morning of February 8, the northern region and Thanh Hoa will experience scattered rain. From February 7 to 9, provinces from Nghe An to Khanh Hoa will also be affected by rain, showers, and even heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms. Residents should be cautious of extreme weather phenomena such as thunderstorms and tornadoes.
