Over recent days, scorching heatwave has been burning Da Nang and elsewhere in the mid-central region .

The average high temperature in the daytime is hovering at between 36 to 38 degrees Celsius in the daytime, and even over 39 degree Celsius in some parts of the mid-central region, especially from 11.00am until 4.00pm. Meanwhile, the lowest humidity is reported as between 40% and 50%.

During extremely hot days, many labourers are still working outside in the high temperatures.

Here are some photos, taken by our reporter Xuan Son, during these hot days.
