Heat returns to the North

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting reported that a heat wave has appeared in the North and Central regions, while the South and Central Highlands have seen many recurring thunderstorms.

On the afternoon of July 28, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting updated that after continuous days of thunderstorms, hot weather quickly returned to the North.

At 1 p.m. today, the common temperature in the North reached 35-36 degrees Celsius. Some localities were higher, such as Lao Cai province at 36.3 degrees Celsius; Bac Me commune (Tuyen Quang province) at 36.1 degrees Celsius.

The hot air and low humidity of only 55-60% make the burning sensation increase significantly.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting predicts that in the next two days (July 29 and 30), the heat wave will continue to persist and expand. From the North, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An to the coastal provinces of the Central Central region such as Da Nang , Quang Ngai, Khanh Hoa, the weather will continue to be harsh.

Temperatures are generally 35-37 degrees Celsius, with some places exceeding 37 degrees Celsius. Experts warn that this heat wave could last until August 1 in the North and longer in the Central region.

Meanwhile, in the Central Highlands and the South, there are many thunderstorms. From 7am to 3pm on July 28, many areas had showers, some places had heavy rain. Specifically, rain gauges in Phu Thuan (Ca Mau province) recorded up to 94mm of rain, Vinh Thuan (An Giang province) reached nearly 64mm.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting warns that from this evening until night, rain will continue to occur in the Central Highlands and Southern provinces. Rainfall is generally 15-30mm, in some places exceeding 70mm. Thunderstorms pose many potential risks such as tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind.

The cause of the heat in the North is due to the low pressure area in the West combined with the reactivation of the foehn effect, causing widespread heat.

Meanwhile, the Southern and Central Highlands regions are in the monsoon convergence zone combined with the strong southwest monsoon, bringing with it thunderstorms, causing showers and thunderstorms in many places.

With this type of weather, the meteorological agency advises people in the North and Central regions to limit going out at noon, drink enough water, and avoid heat shock.

People in the South and Central Highlands should closely monitor the development of thunderstorms, not take shelter under trees or near metal objects; reinforce houses and billboards to prevent strong gusts of wind. In particular, it is necessary to be on guard against flooding in rapidly urbanizing areas.
