Weather experts forecast that there would be 10 and 12 storms and tropical depressions in the East Sea this year, of which four to six storms would directly hit the Vietnamese mainland.

Thousands of students in Lang Son, Lao Cai, Cao Bang, among other northern provinces of Vietnam have been allowed to stay home to avoid the cold snap.

The lowest temperatures during the time the region is hit by the cold snap are ten to 12 degrees Celsius, and four to seven degrees Celsius in mountainous areas.
