Due to the influence of hot weather, some places are experiencing severe heat combined with low humidity in the air and southwest winds causing the effect of flattening, so there is a risk of fire and explosion in residential areas due to increased demand for electricity and the risk of forest fires.
Hot weather can also cause dehydration, exhaustion, and heat stroke in the human body when exposed to high temperatures for a long time.
The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting noted that the forecast temperature in hot weather reports and the actual outdoor temperature may vary by 2 - 4 degrees Celsius, or even higher depending on buffer conditions such as concrete and asphalt roads.
