Yesterday (April 17), heat waves continued to occur widely in the Southeast region, with some areas experiencing severe heat, but the intensity of the heat wave decreased compared to 24 hours ago. The heat wave in the Western provinces began to ease.

It is forecasted that in the next 24 hours, the heat wave will continue to be widespread, and in the next 48 hours, the heat wave will likely narrow in scope and decrease in intensity. The highest temperature in the Southern region is from 35-37 degrees, with some places above 37 degrees.

“Due to the effects of heat, the humidity in the air is low, so there is a risk of explosions, fires in residential areas and forest fires. In addition, heat can also cause dehydration, exhaustion, and heat stroke in the human body when exposed to high temperatures for a long time” - the Southern Hydrometeorological Station warned.
