Picture 1 of Why is Hanoi and the Northeastern provinces hot in record?
The whole of Vietnam is located in the edge of the lowland so the heat is widespread throughout the North and North Central.

Explaining this, Mr. Le Thanh Hai, Deputy General Director of the National Center for Hydrometeorology said that normally the previous large-scale heat waves , low-lying areas often have minds in Myanmar or Yunnan ( China). The whole of Vietnam is located in the edge of the lowland so the heat is widespread throughout the North and North Central. The hottest sunny places are usually concentrated in the North West as well as the western provinces of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An and Ha Tinh.

However, the widespread heat wave is happening, there is a small and small center in the North so the provinces of the Delta, Midlands and Northern Mountains are the center of hot weather with a series of records newly set up.

Mr. Hai also added that there is an opinion that Hanoi, especially Ha Dong, is a hot sunshine record due to cutting trees and concreting. However, not only Hanoi, provinces around Hanoi are hot record, particularly Chi Linh (Hai Duong), the highest temperature measured is 42.2 degrees.

Mr. Hai also added that the large-scale heat wave of this unprecedented time also needs to be reconsidered because the environment around meteorological metering stations has changed so much that the measured temperature is different. special . 'Most of our meteorological stations are located in urban areas, and the surrounding area has been concrete compared to before. For example, Ha Dong meteorological station in Ba La was once surrounded by the whole field, now around is houses and concrete , "Hai said.
