Warning: The widespread heat wave is likely to last until around February 18 (the 9th day of the Lunar New Year). Due to the effects of the heat wave, the humidity in the air is low, so there is a risk of explosions and fires in residential areas due to increased demand for electricity. In addition, a part of the population has the habit of burning votive paper during the Lunar New Year, so they should also pay attention to the risk of explosions. The heat wave also comes with the risk of forest fires in many places.

For many people who are going on spring trips and returning to Ho Chi Minh City in the coming days, special attention should be paid to protecting their health from the risk of heat. Because heat can also cause dehydration, exhaustion, and heat stroke due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
