According to the Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, a fierce heatwave began yesterday in the mid-central region, including Da Nang, due to the influence of low pressure associated with a strong foehn wind in the southwest region.  Daytime temperatures climbed to 37.5⁰C or higher in some parts of the region, and the lowest humidity was reported as 43%.
