Heat waves, water shortage continue in Viet Nam in the next three months
(11:52:39 AM 03/06/2015)
The average temperatures across the country in summer months will be between 0.5-1 degree Celcius higher than normal due to the impacts of El Nino pattern while less rainfalls means water shortages will continue in central Vietnam until mid-September, the NCHMF warned.
Water levels of rivers are forecast to be 30-60 percent less than the average of previous years in central and Central Highlands provinces and even 60-95 percent less in the South Central region.
The heat wave will return to the northern region in the next two days from June 2, with day temperatures hovering between 35-38 degree C.
In central Vietnam, the hot spell is expected to continue for the next 10 days with an average high temperature ranging from 36 to 39 degree C and even exceeding 40 degree C in some areas.
Severe water shortage continues in a large area of northern central Khanh Hoa and Ninh Thuan provinces and is likely to expand on scale.
