The hot weather has been intense in mid-central regional localities, including Da Nang, causing residents to feel unpleasant throughout the entire day, and even at night, with temperatures remaining as high as 37 - 39  degree Celsius. 

The unpleasant weather conditions were caused by the influence of the developing southern low pressure trough associated with a strong foehn wind in the southwest region, soaring heatwave conditions, said the Mid-Central Region Centre for Hydro-meteorological Forecasting.

Let's take a look at some photos captured by our reporters on May 31 to see residents sweat profusely under the stifling heat and struggle to relieve its undesirable effects.

In the next three days, the heat wave is expected to continue its intensify in Da Nang with its mercury measured at 36 - 38 degree Celsius degree Celsius.

At noon and in the afternoon, there is a possibility of thunderstorms accompanied by dangerous weather phenomena such as lightning and strong gusts, especially in mountainous areas. Photo: XUAN SON
