The North welcomes two 'unusual' cold fronts, with drizzle all week

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, on February 16, cold air affected some places in the Northwest and North Central regions.

In the Northwest region, there will be light rain in some places, sunny in the afternoon, cold at night and morning.

Above, the subtropical high pressure across the Central Coast will operate stably.

The cold air mass will strengthen and weaken slowly, and from February 21 it will strengthen again in the North.
