Intense heatwave hits Northern, Central regions
VTV.vn - The Northern and Central regions of Vietnam are forecast to endure intense heat on Saturday.

The mountainous region from Thanh Hóa to Hà Tĩnh will be the hottest as the temperature soars to at least 39 degrees Celsius. Hòa Bình province, the northern delta, midlands, and most of the Central region will be scorched by highs of 35-38 Celsius. This hot spell is expected to last for 10 more days.

Residential areas and factories need to beware of fires caused by increased electricity consumption. The high temperature also poses an increased risk of forest fires in the Central region.
