TPO - The Southeast region in general and Ho Chi Minh City in particular are experiencing prolonged periods of widespread heatwaves. High temperatures combined with low humidity make the weather stifling and uncomfortable for people who have to go outside.
 |
| According to the Southern Vietnam Regional Meteorological and Hydrological Station, hot weather continues to prevail over a wide area in the Southeast region, including Ho Chi Minh City. This is the first heatwave following the Tet holiday, lasting for many consecutive days. |
 |
Observations in Ho Chi Minh City show that hot weather appears early and lasts all day, with peak heat occurring between 12 PM and 4 PM each day. |
 |
The highest daily temperatures in Southern Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City during this period reached 37 degrees Celsius, and even higher in some areas. |
 |
During hot weather, the body often sweats profusely, leading to dehydration and a decrease in electrolytes. This makes the elderly more susceptible to cerebrovascular accidents and strokes, while young children are more prone to metabolic disorders. |
 |
While most people avoid going out during peak hot hours, many others still brave the sun to make a living. |
 |
The intense heat and high levels of harmful ultraviolet radiation mean that people need to take precautions when traveling or engaging in outdoor activities. |
 |
At midday, the sun was directly overhead, its rays shining down on the ground. The hot, dry air made everyone feel tired and uncomfortable. |
 |
To minimize direct sunlight exposure to their skin, workers must wear face masks, long-sleeved shirts, and gloves while working. |
 |
Forecasts indicate that in the coming days, hot weather will continue across a wide area, with intense heat in some places in the eastern provinces and spreading to the western provinces. |
 |
The work of street vendors becomes even more difficult and arduous on hot days. |
 |
The scorching heat left people exhausted, and any shady spot became a place for them to take shelter. |
 |
According to forecasts from the Southern Vietnam Regional Meteorological and Hydrological Station, the hot season in 2024 is likely to arrive early and the intensity of the heat will be no less than in 2023. |
 |
The absolute highest temperatures during the hot season in the southeastern provinces can reach around 39-40 ° C. From March to May, the average temperature is forecast to be higher than the multi-year average. |
