HCMC – The ultraviolet radiation (UV) indexes in HCMC and elsewhere in southern Vietnam will pose a high risk of harm between 11:00 and 13:00 from February 13 to 15, according to the Southern Regional Hydrometeorological Center.
The weather forecast bulletins of the Southern Regional Hydrometeorological Center said temperatures on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week ranged from the lowest level of 23-26 degrees Celsius to the highest of 31-34 degrees Celsius, while some places in the eastern region have temperatures of over 35 degrees Celsius.
The high UV radiation indexes these days are harmful to health, with a forecast at 9.3 in HCMC, 8.2 in Can Tho City and 8.6 in Ca Mau Province.
