According to Mr. Mai Van Khiem, Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, from April 17, mountainous areas from Nghe An to Quang Ngai provinces began to experience widespread heat waves, with the highest temperature commonly ranging from 35 - 37°C, with some places above 37°C.

From April 18, the heat wave will spread to the Central region, the Northern Delta and the Northern Midlands and the Southern region. The highest temperature during the day is forecasted to be 35 - 37°C in the North, with some places reaching over 38°C; 36 - 39°C in the Central region, with some places reaching over 39°C; and 35 - 37°C in the South.

This heat wave in the North and Central regions is likely to last until April 23, while the South is likely to continue experiencing heat for many more days.

From around April 23 to 28, due to the influence of weak cold air, the North is likely to experience showers and thunderstorms, with temperatures dropping slightly. In the Central region, the heat will narrow down, only occurring locally.

During the holiday from April 29 to May 4, the North is forecast to have little rain, temperatures will increase again, and there may be heat waves around May 3 to 4. The Central region will continue to experience heat waves but not as severe as in mid-April. The South will continue to experience widespread heat waves with temperatures ranging from 34 to 37°C.

According to Mr. Mai Van Khiem, during the transitional season, extreme weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, lightning, hail, and strong gusts of wind may occur, especially in the evening. At the same time, widespread heat in the coming days may have adverse effects on people's health, increase the risk of explosions, forest fires, and affect production and daily life.

People need to regularly monitor weather forecasts to proactively prevent and ensure safety for production, daily life and tourism activities during the holidays, Mr. Khiem emphasized.
