Extended weather outlook drying, warmer than normal December

Local October weather may see two or three scattered rainy days; otherwise, predictions are dry.

Around mid-November, we should start to experience overnight temperatures dropping to 20°C and below. That’s also when "Real" and "Feels Like" temperatures unite—simply put, the humidity drops off and the air feels crisp.

El Niño is expected to peak with higher-than-usual temperatures in December, packing its bags to leave sometime in March as we transition toward ENSO-neutral conditions.

Cold season generally starts late October to early November

"Unless a rogue tropical storm pushes inland from central Vietnam before mid-October, the window for meaningful groundwater recharge and reservoir accumulation across the plateau is rapidly closing."
