From June 4 onwards, the widespread hot weather in the Central region will end, however, in the first days of June, the risk of extreme phenomena still needs to continue to be closely monitored.
The prolonged heat waves accompanied by low humidity and increased electricity demand lead to the risk of fire and explosion in residential areas and forests.
High outdoor temperatures also significantly affect health, especially the risk of dehydration, exhaustion or stroke due to heat stroke if exposed to the sun for a long time.
People and tourists should especially note that the actual outdoor temperature may be 2-4°C higher than the forecast, especially in areas with a lot of concrete, asphalt roads or dense urban space.
If you plan to swim at tourist destinations in the North Central region such as Sam Son, Bai Dong (Thanh Hoa), Bien Quynh, Cua Lo (Nghe An), Thien Cam (Ha Tinh) ... tourists should go to sea early in the morning around 5am or late in the afternoon from 4pm to avoid the hot time.
