The forecast temperature in the heat bulletin and the actual felt temperature outside can differ by 2 to 4 degrees Celsius, or even higher depending on the conditions of the surface such as concrete and asphalt.

Due to the impact of heat, in some places the heat is intense combined with low humidity and the southwest wind causing the foehn effect, there is a risk of explosions and fires in residential areas due to increased demand for electricity and the risk of forest fires. Heat can cause dehydration, exhaustion, and heat stroke to the human body when exposed to high temperatures for a long time. In addition, heat also directly affects production and people's lives.

To protect the health of yourself and your family during hot days, health experts recommend that people limit going out between 11am and 2pm every day. If you have to go out, wear long-sleeved, long-legged clothes and a hat to cover your head and face to protect your skin as much as possible.

People need to supplement enough and moderate water every day and every hour (it is best to choose types of water such as: filtered water, fruit juice, pure green vegetable juice...) to prevent heat and compensate for lost water...
