He said according to climate rules, in February, cold air still has a strong impact on Việt Nam. From the beginning of February onwards, the dry air is replaced by a humid air mass. During this period, the provinces and cities in the northern region will see light rain, drizzle, fog, and cold weather at night and in the morning.

Over the next two weeks, the humidity in the air will stay at more than 80 per cent, according to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.

To prevent moisture and humidity in the house, families should always keep their doors closed, turn on the air conditioner, use dehumidifying materials such as old newspapers, charcoal or dehumidifying machines, and wipe surfaces with dry rags.

The top of the Landmark 72 building on Phạm Hùng Street and neighbouring skyscrapers were nearly completely obscured by the thick fog on Tuesday. — VNA/VNS Photo Tuấn Anh

Back to the wild

In 2022, residents of Thừa Thiên – Huế Province handed over more than 80 species, many of which were endangered, to the provincial forest rangers to release them back into the wild. This was made possible by the province's programmes to educate the public about wildlife protection and conservation, as well as its training courses for forest rangers. The results show a positive change in the community's awareness of the meaning and importance of wildlife conservation.
