Vietnam will see contrasting weather conditions by region on August 28. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected in the north, with locally heavy rain possible in mountainous areas and parts of the central inland region. Meanwhile, the central region will be mostly sunny during the day, although some areas are expected to experience heatwave conditions.

Rain and thunderstorms in the north, heatwave conditions in the central region, and afternoon and evening showers in Ho Chi Minh City are the key points.

Ho Chi Minh City: Lows of 25–27°C and Highs of 31–33°C

Ho Chi Minh City is forecast to have lows of 25–27°C and highs of 31–33°C on August 28. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon and evening. The official forecast also indicates that thunderstorms in the southern region and Ho Chi Minh City could bring strong wind gusts, lightning, and hail.

Those traveling or planning outdoor activities in Ho Chi Minh City should therefore also check the possibility of rain in the afternoon and evening.
