The longest heat wave since the beginning of the year, hot until night

On June 30, speaking with VietNamNet reporter , Dr. Hoang Phuc Lam, Deputy Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said that the capital Hanoi has officially entered the next heat wave. The difference of this heat wave is the length of time it lasts.

Mr. Lam commented: "This is likely to be the longest heat wave since the beginning of the year in the capital Hanoi. But it must also be said that this will not be a very severe heat wave when the highest temperature of the whole period is only 37-38 degrees Celsius. However, at night it will be hot with the lowest temperature at night still high, 29-30 degrees."
