On the morning of February 12, the weather in many central areas and inner districts of Ho Chi Minh City appeared with a thick layer of fog, limiting visibility and obscuring high-rise buildings. Not only was the sky gloomy, but also a feeling of coolness when moving outdoors made people feel different.
Ms. Nguyen Thuy Trang (resident of Vuon Lai ward) shared: "This morning I went to work and thought it was about to rain heavily or there was smoke and dust. The buildings in the distance are almost obscured, looking very strange. The air is also cool and slightly cold, feeling like Da Lat weather.
Meanwhile, Ms. Le Thi Hai (Cau Ong Lanh ward) said: "In the city, I rarely see such thick fog in the days near Tet. This morning when I opened the door, I saw the sky was dimly white, and it was still a bit cold, the feeling was very different. The weather changes erratically, so I am also a bit worried about my health.
The cool morning air makes many people wear thin jackets when going out. The slight change in the weather brings a different feeling, in contrast to the dry sunshine that is familiar in the Southern dry season.
