Representatives of the Weather Forecasting Department also warned that the level of natural disaster risk due to hot weather is level 1; especially the area from Nghe An to Hue City is level 2.
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. 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, or even higher depending on the condition of the buffer surface such as concrete and asphalt roads.
