VOV.VN - A hot low pressure area in the West is developing and moving across the northern and central regions, sending temperatures rising quickly.
Daytime temperatures in many localities such as Ninh Binh and Ha Nam rose to 34-36°C, according to weather experts.
The hot low pressure area is forecast to intensify on July 17 – 19, and hot weather is likely to occur in a large area in the North with the highest temperatures commonly ranging from 35-37°C.
In the capital of Hanoi, the sun rose early on July 16, pushing the temperatures up to 28-30°C in the morning and 34-36°C in the afternoon.
