Temperatures in Laos To Drop As Low As 3° to 4° Celsius This Month

Temperatures will fall again this month and meteorology officials are warning people to prepare for frequent changes in the weather.

“The same low temperatures we experienced last month will reappear this month,” an official said. The temperature dropped to 1.8 degrees Celsius in Xieng Khuang province and 12.8 degrees Celsius in Vientiane last month, while it could drop as low as 3 to 4 degrees Celsius this month.

The department has also forecasted that temperatures will rise and fall from day to day until the end of this month, bringing with it the inevitable unwanted effects on human health.

Despite the temperature having risen in many provinces this week, the cold weather has continued in some areas of the country such in Xaysomboun district of Vientiane province, Khamkeuth district of Borikhamxay province, and Pakxong in Champassak province.

Temperatures took a dive last year when rainfall from March 16 to 18 sent thermometers plunging to below zero in Xieng Khuang province, causing the deaths of more than 3,400 cattle.

Regarding the effects on human health, it’s advised that people keep warm and pay close attention to children and the elderly. Meanwhile organisations and individuals are called on to arrange donations of warm clothing for people facing extreme cold, particularly in the northern provinces.
