Continuous rain and storms, what dangers do people need to be aware of?

(Dan Tri) - In the context of erratic weather, especially when storms appear and make landfall, people need to be alert to dangers that can affect their health.

Summer is the time when people enjoy outings, but it also poses potential health risks. The reason is that hot and humid weather creates favorable conditions for viruses and disease-causing germs to enter the body, or dangerous accidents occur during activities and daily life...

In addition to the heat, summer is also the time of storms. In July, typhoon Wipha made landfall in the area of ​​South Hai Phong - North Thanh Hoa. After the storm, a series of provinces and cities were affected, with heavy rains and flash floods.

Most recently, storm No. 5 (storm Kajiki) with a strength of level 12-13 caused many affected localities to evacuate people from dangerous areas.
