Typically, in neutral conditions, the weather doesn’t appear abnormal. As a result this year’s summer is likely to be milder, the sun will still be hot, but overall the hot weather will be less severe and will last for a shorter time than in previous years.
Weather experts say western mountainous areas are likely to endure a large-scale heatwave on April 23.
The heat will then extend to most of the northern and central regions, the northwest region, as well as some places in the northeastern region on April 24 to April 26. Daytime temperatures are predicted to climb to 35-36°C in northern localities and even 38-39°C in the central region.
Meanwhile, the Central Highlands and the southern region will endure spells of rain. In late April, these areas are likely to suffer showers and thunderstorms for a period lasting for three to four days.
However, the average temperatures in the northern region throughout August and September are forecast to be 0.5°C to 1.0°C higher than previous years.
Meanwhile, from July to September the average temperatures in the central region will be higher than in previous years by 0.5°C to 1°C.
