TPO - On the first day of the April 30-May 1 holiday, the gateway to Ho Chi Minh City was packed with people returning to their hometowns. Meanwhile, the Tan Son Nhat airport area was quite clear.
Since the morning of April 27, traffic has been heavy on National Highway 1, the western gateway to Ho Chi Minh City. |
Crowded traffic flows to the provinces and cities in the West. |
Heavy traffic makes Highway 1 overloaded, sometimes causing slight congestion at intersections. |
At around 7:30 a.m., the sun covered the area, making many people moving on the street feel stuffy and hot. |
In the hot weather, pedestrians have to stop their vehicles to put on gloves and cover their bodies. |
According to the forecast from the Southern Hydrometeorological Station, during the April 30 - May 1 holiday, the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and the South will continue to be hot, with some places experiencing severe heat with the highest temperature reaching 38 degrees Celsius, and some places above 38 degrees Celsius. |
Therefore, when having to travel for a long time in hot environments, people need to take measures to cover their bodies, wear sunglasses,... |
Meanwhile, at Tan Son Nhat airport, due to the number of passengers somewhat decreasing compared to the peak of Tet holiday, the airport area is quite airy. |
