Vietnam has recorded its highest-ever temperature of 44.1 degrees Celsius (111.38°F), as weather forecasters warned that the new level could soon be surpassed because of climate change. The record was set on May 6, 2023, in the northern province of Thanh Hoa. Officials warned people in the area to stay indoors during the hottest times of the day. Record temperatures have been reported across Southeast Asia since the start of a heatwave in April.
