Maximum temperatures will generally range from 35-37 degrees Celsius, with some places exceeding 38 degrees Celsius; minimum relative humidity will generally be between 50-55%.

The area from Thanh Hoa to Hue city is experiencing intense heat, with some places experiencing exceptionally severe heat, with maximum temperatures commonly ranging from 37-39 degrees Celsius, and some places exceeding 39 degrees Celsius; the lowest relative humidity is commonly between 45-50%.

Due to the effects of hot weather, intense heat, and exceptionally intense heat combined with low humidity, there is a high risk of explosions and fires in residential areas due to increased electricity demand, and a risk of forest fires.

In extremely hot weather conditions, if people have to go outside, they need to take safe sun protection measures, cover themselves well, and stay adequately hydrated to avoid dehydration and heatstroke from prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
