Heavy rains and lightning are expected to hit the northern region tomorrow afternoon, giving local residents a respite from the extremely hot weather that lasted nearly a week.

Hanoians cover all their body to avoid sunlight during these extreme hot weather days. 

The National Centre of Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said the people should prepare for whirlwinds, hailstorm and strong winds during the downpour.

Meanwhile, the weather over the sea will be rough from Binh Thuan to Ca Mau Province, and in the central and southern part of the East Sea.
