It is anticipated that the heat wave with daytime temperatures reaching up to 37°C will hit localities from Thanh Hoa to Phu Yen on June 1. This extreme weather will cause temperatures to stay above 35°C for between 12 and 16 hours per day, and humidity to fall to lows of between 50% and 65%.

The heat wave is set to reach its peak between June 2 and June 6 when temperatures are forecast to reach up to 38°C , with highs of over 39°C in some places.

From June 3 to June 5, hot weather is likely to spread across northwestern and midland regions, with the highest temperatures reaching between 35 - 36°C and even higher. The lowest humidity of the day will be from 50% and 60%.

However, the heat will gradually abate over the following days, weather experts said.

The foehn effect causes heat to last longer during the day and lowers humidity, thereby posing a high risk of fire. The hot weather will affect the daily activities of people and threaten the health of local residents.

Medical experts have warned of the risk of dehydration, exhaustion, and heat stroke if people are exposed to high temperatures for a long time.
