According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting on June 1, the Northern Delta and the western mountainous areas of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, and Hoa Binh will experience severe heat , with some places experiencing especially severe heat.

On the satellite cloud image at 2:00 p.m. this afternoon, it can be seen that except for the Northwest region (west of Hoang Lien Son range), from the North to Phu Yen, there are almost no clouds.

The cause of this severe heat wave is low pressure in the west combined with a strong foehn effect.

This is considered the most severe heat wave since the beginning of summer in the North.

The Meteorological Agency forecasts that tomorrow, the North Central region, the Northern Delta and Hoa Binh will continue to experience severe heat, with some places experiencing particularly severe heat, with the highest temperature commonly ranging from 37-39 degrees Celsius, and some places over 39 degrees Celsius.
