An intense cold front is expected to make landfall in northern Vietnam, which has been experiencing a big chill for six consecutive days, on Saturday afternoon and persist through this weekend, according to the national weather center. North-central provinces like Thanh Hoa could also be hit by the bitterly cold weather, while frosts and sleet are forecast in mountainous areas, the National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting warned.
