From August 3-4, the North (except Lai Chau and Dien Bien) and the North Central region have experienced a widespread and especially severe heat wave, in which the Northern Delta is the focus with continuous temperatures at 37-39 °C, many places exceeding 39 - 40°C - a record high in August history.
Sharing with Lao Dong on August 5, Nguyen Mai Anh (Thanh Hoa province) said that on the afternoon of August 3, his family dried a batch of bananas in the sun from 11am. At around 3:00 p.m., the banana branches suddenly burst into smoke and burned black.
Ms. Mai Anh and her family members were surprised when they first encountered this situation. "My father has a habit of slicing green bananas and drying them to boil water to drink. It has been dried many times but this is the first time it has been so hot that the green banana has burned black," said Ms. Mai Anh.
Below the post, many people were surprised to see the situation of green bananas being dried until black, as well as the harshness of the weather. Some others shared below the article, his family drying jackfruit on the corrugated iron roof also encountered a situation where the bags withered and turned brown and burnt.
Many people who see the photos mistakenly think that they are "black sugar pearls", "black bean pears"... Some opinions say that because Mai Anh's family used stainless steel bristles to place under the hot sun, it led to a convergence of heat and burning bananas.
