It also outlines the expected weather phases leading up to and during the Lunar New Year, emphasizing the need for vigilance against potential cold spells.

Takeaways

• 😱 Extreme cold spells and frost are continuously occurring in northern mountainous areas this week due to a strong cold air mass, while the North had previously been as hot as summer
• 😞 Vietnam is undergoing an abnormally cold winter this year after a hot November - coldest January in the North since 2016
• 🌡️ Temperature has plummeted below 0°C at peaks over 1,500m, with frost covering mountain tops for days
• ❄️ Historic cold waves and heavy snowfall also hitting parts of Europe, Americas and Asia - Spain, France, China etc
• 😶 After a hot early winter, northern Vietnam has been caught off guard by the extremely cold weather in mid-late winter
• 👩‍🔬 Experts relate the abnormal weather patterns to climate change and instability of the polar vortex jet stream
• 💨 The recent cold spell originated from a rare, intense Siberian cold air mass, aided by high-altitude winds
• ☀️ Warmer weather expected in late January before another cold spell around Tet holiday per forecasts
• 💧 Central region should watch for rain around Tet while South will remain warm (31-34°C)
• ❗️ Take protective measures for crops, cattle and poultry as cold weather persists into February

Q & A

Why is this winter considered unusual in Vietnam and other parts of the world?

This winter is considered unusual due to the occurrence of extreme cold spells, heavy snowfalls, and record low temperatures across many countries including Vietnam, parts of Europe, America, and Asia. This deviation from the norm is attributed to strong cold air masses and the effects of climate change.

What were some of the impacts of the heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures in France and Spain?

In France, warnings were issued in 25 provinces due to snow and ice, while in Spain, 600 people were stranded in their cars due to heavy snowfall.

How many people died in the United States due to snowstorms and freezing temperatures as of January 23?

As of January 23, the death toll in the United States due to snowstorms and freezing temperatures reached 95 people.

What unusual weather event occurred in southern China's Guangdong province?

Southern China's Guangdong province experienced rare snowfall, which is an unusual event for the region.

How did the heavy snowfall in South Korea affect the Winter Youth Olympics?

The heavy snowfall in South Korea caused disruptions to the Winter Youth Olympics held in the eastern part of the country on January 21, leading to the activation of emergency measures for public safety.

What record-breaking weather conditions were observed in Vietnam in November?

In November, Vietnam experienced record-breaking high temperatures across 18 localities from North to South, with the highest temperature recorded in Sơn La's Sông Mã district at 36 degrees Celsius.

What explains the rapid shift from warm to extremely cold winter conditions this year?

The rapid shift from warm to extremely cold conditions is attributed to the effects of climate change and the impact of El Niño, causing instability in the polar vortex at high altitudes. This instability can lead to cold air masses moving to lower latitudes or retreating, resulting in unusual warm periods followed by extreme cold.

What measures were taken in Vietnam to deal with the severe cold spells?

In Vietnam, measures included closing over 170 road sections and more than 1,300 toll stations in Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, and Guizhou due to snowfall and ice, and deploying around 5,600 personnel and nearly 700 snow-clearing machines for public safety.

How does the warming of the Arctic potentially affect winter weather patterns?

The warming of the Arctic can destabilize the polar vortex, leading to the formation of wave-like patterns in the jet stream. This can push cold Arctic air to lower latitudes or cause it to retreat, resulting in warmer than usual conditions or extreme cold spells in areas that are typically not affected.

What long-term weather forecast was provided for Vietnam for the period leading up to and including the Tet holiday?

The forecast for Vietnam leading up to and including the Tet holiday was divided into three main phases: initially, colder weather, followed by a period of warmer and sunny conditions with daytime temperatures potentially reaching 24-25 degrees Celsius, and finally, a possible cold air mass affecting the region around Tet, leading to lower daytime temperatures and the need for caution against rain in the central region and warmer weather in the south.
