Weather forecast for the whole country today, April 18, widespread heat

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that today, April 18, the weather from Thanh Hoa to Phu Yen will be hot, with some places experiencing severe heat. The highest temperature is from 35-37 degrees Celsius, with some places above 37 degrees Celsius, and humidity 50-55%.

The North and Southeast regions are hot in some places with the highest temperature above 35 degrees Celsius. The lowest relative humidity is 55-60%.

This widespread heat wave in the North, from Thanh Hoa to Phu Yen, is likely to last until April 22. The heat wave in the South is likely to last for many days to come.

Due to the effects of hot weather combined with low humidity and southwest winds causing the foehn effect, there is a risk of fire and explosion in residential areas due to increased demand for electricity.

In addition, heat can also cause dehydration and heat exhaustion to the human body when exposed to high temperatures for a long time.

Forecast temperatures in news bulletins and actual outdoor temperatures can differ by 2-4 degrees Celsius, or even more, depending on surface conditions such as concrete and asphalt.
