With Tet Nguyen Dan 2025 just around the corner, the Vietnamese government is ramping up efforts to prepare for severe winter weather expected to impact the celebrations. From January 29 to February 2, significant drops in temperature are forecasted, particularly affecting the northern regions of the country.
According to Hoàng Phúc Lâm, Deputy Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, temperatures across northern and north-central Vietnam are anticipated to plunge to between 9-12 degrees Celsius, with mountainous areas dropping even lower to 6-8 degrees Celsius, and some peaks potentially falling below 3 degrees Celsius. This extreme cold could pose serious risks to public health and agricultural productivity.
Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính has issued urgent directives to local governments, calling for proactive measures to monitor weather conditions closely and to educate the public on effective cold weather survival strategies. He emphasized the importance of disseminative knowledge on safety techniques for vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly and children, during this impending cold wave.
Local authorities have been tasked with mobilizing resources to safeguard agricultural activities against the adverse weather. Measures include advising farmers to secure their livestock and crops against the bitter cold, as well as ensuring adequate supplies of feed and safe shelter for animals facing the harsh conditions.
During this time, expected disruptions to transportation and daily routines due to the weather could lead to additional complications for communities preparing for the Tet festivities. The National Weather Center has warned of the potential for snow and icy conditions, particularly affecting highland areas.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated on forecasts and follow any safety protocols outlined by their local government agencies. The recent warnings highlight the need for all citizens to remain vigilant, especially during festive periods when travel and outdoor activities are common.
Ministries involved, including the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, are overseeing specific actions to address both short-term and long-term agricultural strategies, ensuring farmers can adapt to weather changes without significant losses. The preparation also extends to broader public health preparedness, including accessible healthcare services for those who might suffer from cold-related illnesses.
With Tet being Vietnam's most important traditional celebration, the government is determined to minimize the impact of the cold weather on traditions and festivities, encouraging all citizens to take necessary precautions. The focus remains on community resilience and safety, directing citizen attention to local advisories.
The upcoming days leading to Tet Eric date are particularly pertinent, as the temperatures are expected to dip significantly again. Authorities stress the importance of staying indoors during peak cold hours and utilizing safe heating methods to avoid unfortunate incidents related to inadequate heating.
Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính’s statements reflect the government’s commitment to not only preparing for weather disturbances but also to ensuring the safety and well-being of all Vietnamese as they celebrate Tet Nguyen Dan 2025. This year, residents are urged to prepare thoroughly for the festivities, keeping their health and safety at the forefront of their plans.
