Hot weather is expected to persist in Ho Chi Minh City until Friday, with no rain forecast, according to the Southern Regional Hydrometeorological Center.
The southern metropolis is experiencing temperatures of 34-35 degrees Celsius and humidity of around 57 percent on Monday.
The ultraviolet (UV) index ranges from high to very high levels from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.
From Saturday to next Monday, there is a 60-percent chance of showers in southern Vietnam, with widespread heat continuing across the region, the center said.
The agency explained that a cold front from the north is pushing a hot low-pressure system in the west southward, combined with a subtropical high-pressure system over the central region, keeping the weather sunny and hot.
As a result, temperatures in the southeast are expected to reach 32-35 degrees Celsius, with some areas surpassing 35 degrees Celsius, while the Mekong Delta could see mercury between 31-34 degrees Celsius, with isolated places exceeding 34 degrees Celsius.
Over the next two to three days, the hot low-pressure system will continue to move south, while cold air is expected to reach Vietnam from Wednesday night to Thursday.
However, the cold front is weak and unlikely to significantly lower temperatures in the south, including Ho Chi Minh City.
