On August 4 and 5, the area from Quang Binh to Khanh Hoa will experience hot weather, with some areas facing intense heat. Temperatures are expected to range from 35-37 degrees Celsius, with some spots exceeding 37 degrees Celsius. Relative humidity will generally be between 55-60 percent.
The meteorological agency has warned that the heatwave and intense heat, combined with low humidity, pose a risk of fires and explosions in residential areas due to increased electricity use and a higher chance of forest fires. Additionally, the heat could lead to dehydration, exhaustion, and heatstroke from prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
According to the Southern Regional Hydro-Meteorological Center, Ho Chi Minh City will experience hot and sunny weather on August 4, with thunderstorms developing in the afternoon and evening. Rain may occur in some areas, and thunderstorms could bring strong winds, lightning, and gusts.
