Wearing 'air-conditioned' clothes, carrying ice cubes to make a living under the scorching heat

TPO – Under the scorching sun, workers find all sorts of ways to combat the heat, such as using fan-mounted shirts, carrying extra bottles of ice water, and hand fans.

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, on June 30, the northern and central provinces will experience widespread heat. Hanoi will have a hot day, with temperatures reaching 38 degrees Celsius at times.

The road surface temperature was measured at over 50 degrees Celsius at times.

“Air-conditioned” shirts (sun-protective shirts with built-in battery-powered fans) are used by many workers to combat the heat.

Mr. Doan Van Thi (39 years old, from Nam Dinh ) has been working as a cyclo driver in Hanoi's Old Quarter for more than ten years. He shared that working regularly in hot weather can easily make you tired and exhausted. To combat the heat, Mr. Thi bought an "air-conditioned" shirt.

Some workers use mini electric fans attached to the handlebars or under the luggage rack on their motorbikes...

Along Truong Chinh and Minh Khai streets (Hanoi), pedestrians cover themselves from head to toe to avoid the scorching heat.

Taking advantage of the short lunch break, many people take a nap in hammocks hung in cool places.

For technology drivers who have to move continuously on the road all day, items to protect their phones from the sun, prevent overheating and battery swelling are indispensable. In addition, Mr. Dinh Xuan Vinh (44 years old, Hanoi) also equipped himself with a thermos of ice water and a hand fan to be able to work for many hours under the hot sun.
