Hanoi is entering a long series of drizzly and humid days. In the mornings, many tall buildings have “disappeared” behind the thick fog.
The wet weather accompanied by drizzle caused few people to walk on the sidewalks of Thanh Nien Street, different from the previous dry days. West Lake’s surface is white, and the opposite shore can no longer be seen.
The EVN building seen from Thanh Nien street also looms behind the fog.
In the city center, the roofs of many high-rise buildings were completely covered by fog.
Lotte Center Hanoi building, one of the tallest buildings in Hanoi, no longer has a clear view of the top floors.
The prolonged drizzle caused many pedestrians or drivers of motorbikes and bicycles to equip themselves with raincoats, making it difficult to move when visibility was limited.
The cause of the fog phenomenon is due to high air humidity, many clouds, so the sun is weak, combined with little wind, making the humid air layer around in the low ground close to the ground, unable to dissolve.
On Nguyen Chi Thanh Street at 9:30 a.m., a thick layer of fog still covered high-rise buildings.
It is forecasted that there will be drizzle and fog in the North for many days. In terms of temperature, the North is cold at night and in the morning, the lowest temperature is commonly 16-20 degrees Celsius; During the day, the highest temperature is 21-24 degrees Celsius, the Northwest has higher places.
The buildings can no longer be seen clearly with the view from above on Tran Duy Hung Street, many buildings in the distance are completely “swallowed” by the fog.
