According to Ms. Ta Thi Hong An, Climate Forecasting Department, National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, the current heat wave in the North is forecast to gradually decrease in the last 2 days of the week.
On May 16, the Northern region will be hot with the highest daily temperature commonly 35 - 36 degrees C, with some places above 36 degrees C.
From May 17, hot weather will end in the Northern region; meanwhile, in the Central region, hot weather will also gradually decrease" - Ms. Hong An said.
According to Ms. An, the area from Thanh Hoa to Da Nang city and the eastern provinces from Quang Ngai to Dak Lak from May 16-17, it is forecast to be hot but the temperature will decrease slightly, with intense heat in some places with the highest common temperature of 35-37 degrees Celsius, and above 37 degrees Celsius in some places. From May 18, widespread heat will end in the Central region.
The meteorological agency warns that the level of natural disaster risk due to hot weather is level 1. Due to the impact of hot and intense heat combined with low air humidity, 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 weather can also cause dehydration 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, asphalt roads.
Representatives of the Special Climate Forecasting Department emphasized that for the Southern provinces, widespread heat has lasted almost continuously from April to now.
Meanwhile, the phenomenon of widespread rain is almost unobserved, only locally occurring. However, there is good news for people in the southern provinces that the hot weather in the southern provinces is also about to end. The reason is that the appearance of the southwest monsoon will cause rain and thunderstorms to increase in the Central Highlands as well as the South" - Ms. An assessed.
