Hot weather forecast for June in Northern and Central Vietnam.

TPO - Hot weather will mainly be concentrated in the first half of June with intense and extremely intense heat. In the second half of the month, hot weather will continue but may be weaker and shorter in duration.

Today, June 1st, the northern region (except Quang Ninh and Hai Phong ) and the central provinces are experiencing a widespread heatwave with temperatures at 1 PM reaching 35-36 degrees Celsius.

Many places recorded temperatures above 36 degrees Celsius, such as Yen Chau (Son La) 37.5 degrees, Bac Me (Tuyen Quang) 37 degrees, Bao Lac ( Cao Bang ) 36.6 degrees, Hoi Xuan (Thanh Hoa) 36.6 degrees, Con Cuong (Nghe An) 36.3 degrees, and Huong Son (Ha Tinh) 36.3 degrees.

Forecasts indicate that in the coming days, Northern Vietnam (excluding Quang Ninh and Hai Phong), and the northern and central parts of Central Vietnam will continue to experience hot weather with maximum temperatures generally ranging from 35-37 degrees Celsius, and exceeding 37 degrees Celsius in some areas. The lowest relative humidity during the day will fluctuate between 50-55%.

The hot, sunny period lasts from approximately 11 AM to 4 PM daily. The UV index reaches levels that are very harmful to people's health. People participating in outdoor activities are advised to wear sun-protective clothing, apply sunscreen, wear wide-brimmed hats, drink plenty of water, and limit direct exposure to the sun.

The forecast indicates that this widespread heatwave will last for several more days in the North and Central regions of Vietnam.

However, according to the National Center for Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting, this heatwave is unlikely to be as severe as the one that occurred from May 23-28. In the North, from June 4-7, there will be scattered showers and thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening, with localized moderate to heavy rainfall.

Forecasts for June indicate that hot weather will be prolonged and more intense during the first half of the month. Hot spells may still occur in the latter half, but they will be less intense and shorter in duration.

Previously, from May 23-28, the North and Central regions experienced a heatwave of intense to exceptionally intense heat, with maximum temperatures ranging from 36-39 degrees Celsius, and exceeding 39 degrees Celsius in some areas.

Notably, Hanoi has consistently been the hottest city in the country during this period, with temperatures commonly ranging from 39-41 degrees Celsius, surpassing even places known as "furnaces" such as Tuong Duong (Nghe An), Hoi Xuan (Thanh Hoa), and Huong Khe (Ha Tinh).

Also in May, many weather stations across the country recorded historically high temperatures, mainly concentrated in Hai Phong and Quang Ninh - areas that typically have lower temperatures than other regions in the North.
