- According to the latest forecast, from around April 24, the heat in the Northern region will gradually decrease. The hot weather in the Thanh Hoa to Phu Yen area is likely to last until April 24 and gradually cool down from around April 25.
In the Central Highlands and the South, the hot weather will continue to be hot in the coming days.
Although the new hot season has just begun but has recorded prolonged sunshine, what recommendations do you have for the people?
- With prolonged hot weather, we always warn of the risk of fire, explosion, fire in residential areas and forest fires due to increased demand for electricity, low humidity, and the bored effect.
The forecast temperature in hot weather reports and the actual outdoor temperature may range from 2 - 4 degrees Celsius, or even higher depending on buffer conditions such as concrete and asphalt.
Therefore, there will be health risks such as dehydration, exhaustion, and heat stroke when exposed to high temperatures for a long time. People need to pay attention to sun protection measures and ensure they drink enough water.
Sincerely thank you!
