Due to the influence of hot sun and intense heat, especially intense in some places combined with low humidity in the air, there is a high risk of fires and explosions in residential areas due to increased electricity demand and the risk of forest fires. In addition, hot sun can also cause dehydration, exhaustion, and heat stroke for the human body when exposed to high temperatures for a long time.
Note that the forecast temperature in hot weather bulletins and the actual perceived temperature outside can differ from 2-4 degrees Celsius, and may even be higher depending on the condition of the buffer surface such as concrete and asphalt roads.
According to the latest 10-day weather forecast bulletin from the meteorological agency, from about the 15th - 16th, the hot weather in the Northwest region is likely to gradually subside.
While in the Northeast region, from April 14, hot weather will decrease. Around April 16-17, this area is likely to have scattered showers and thunderstorms, and the temperature will continue to drop further.
