Scorching weather has returned to both northern and central Vietnam, with the hottest temperature reaching over 39 degrees Celsius, the National Center for Hydro-metrological Forecasting warned on Monday.

After several days with cool air because of Typhoon Kujira that hit the northeastern region last week, the northern and central regions have begun to suffer from hot weather again, and the new heatwave is expected to last from today until Wednesday, the center said.

The heat has returned as a western hot low pressure has continued to develop and expand to the southeastern region, the center said.

High temperatures in the northern region and coastal central provinces will range from 35 to over 38 degrees Celsius from now until Wednesday.

High temperatures in Hanoi will reach up to 39 degrees during the period.

From now to July 1, the Gulf of Tonkin will experience rough seas, with winds of 39-49kph and gusts of up to 74kph. Sea waves will be 1.5-2.5 meters high during the period.

On July 2, the scorching weather will gradually ease in northern provinces, but will maintain and prolong in the central part.

Today, the high temperature in Hanoi will be 38 degrees, while the northwestern region will have highs of up to 37 degrees. The northeastern area will have hotter weather as well, with high temperatures of over 38 degrees.

In the central region from Thanh Hoa to Thua Thien-Hue Provinces and from Da Nang to Binh Thuan Province, the hottest temperatures will be over 38 and over 37 degrees, respectively, today.

Meanwhile, today the Central Highlands region and the southern region will be less hot, ranging from 29 to 32 degrees and 32 to 35 degrees, respectively.
