🇻🇳 Hanoi, Vietnam

In Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, daytime temperatures have climbed past 40 degrees Celsius, and residents are going out in thick winter coats and scarves to block the sun. Concrete and asphalt hold the heat, pushing the felt temperature higher still. Anh, a 29-year-old ride-hailing driver, keeps an umbrella in the vehicle to raise at every red light. Pham Minh Anh, a 19-year-old university student, reports a loss of appetite, has switched to taxis to stay out of the sun, and applies sunscreen twice a day. At noon, the Trang Tien-Hang Bai intersection was nearly empty of people. Street vendors kept trading, and tourists at Hoan Kiem lake walked under umbrellas. VnExpress International reported it on June 27.
