According to updates from the Southern Hydrometeorological Station, the weather forecast for the coming days shows that hot weather in Ho Chi Minh City will continue and tend to increase. A similar situation is also widespread in the South, with many places recording the highest temperature of about 36 degrees Celsius, humidity dropping deeply, with some areas only more than 36%.
The reason why the weather becomes harsher is due to clear skies, strong heat radiation and high levels of ultraviolet rays. Lack of cloud cover causes heat from the sun to directly impact the surface, increasing the perceived temperature.
Weather forecasts for major cities such as Ho Chi Minh City, the urban heat island effect - due to concrete and asphalt accumulating heat - makes the air even hotter than in suburban areas.
From now until the end of March, hot weather is forecast to continue to be widespread in the Southeast and spread to some southwestern border areas. Temperatures tend to gradually increase while humidity continues to decrease, increasing the level of drought.
Ho Chi Minh City weather forecast for the next 10 days will maintain hot weather. In the period from March 28 to April 6, the highest temperature will generally fluctuate from 34-35 degrees Celsius, at some points at the beginning of the period (March 28) at a lower level of about 31 degrees Celsius but quickly increases again.
The lowest temperature at night is stable in the range of 25-26 degrees Celsius, showing that high temperatures last both day and night.
Notably, the entire 10-day period was almost without rain, the sky was cloudy but not enough to reduce the intensity of heat radiation.
For tourists, the current Southern weather is suitable for sightseeing activities in the early morning or late afternoon, limiting outdoor travel during lunchtime.
At the same time, it is necessary to proactively replenish water, use sun protection measures and monitor weather forecasts regularly to adjust the schedule appropriately.
In addition, prolonged heat combined with low humidity also increases the risk of fires and explosions in residential areas and forest fires, and also poses health risks such as dehydration, exhaustion or heat shock if exposed to high temperatures for a long time.
