Scorching heat at its peak in Hanoi
Quynh Chi 17:43, 2021/06/21
As Hanoi is forecast to endure a hot spell with temperatures reaching up to 41 degrees Celsius, workers struggle to make a living under harsh weather.

The scorching heat is predicted to linger in the North and the Central region of Vietnam in the next few days as the result of low pressure in combination with the strong Foehn wind effect.

As noted by The Hanoi Times at midday on June 20, the temperature in streets such as Nguyen Trai, Lang, Vu Pham Ham, Pham Hung rose to over 41 degrees Celsius. 
“As a shipper, my work intensifies these days, three to four times harder due to hot weather and rising number of takeout orders,” said Nguyen Hai Anh, adding that he has to wear a long-sleeved shirt to avoid the burning sun and always have a bottle of water available to avoid dehydration.”
