Fog appeared most of the day. However, in the morning when it is sunny, the sky is brighter, making us feel good, but in the afternoon it begins to be cloudy, darkening and clouding the sky.
Fog is easily seen in tall buildings. From a distance, these buildings are covered in a dull mist. The further away the buildings were, the less clearly visible.
Explaining this phenomenon, Ms. Le Thi Xuan Lan, former deputy director of the forecast department of the Hydrometeorological Station of the South region, said that air pollution is always present in large cities.
But in recent days, there have been off-season rains, high humidity, which is the basis for polluted and dusty particles to adhere, so the fog in Ho Chi Minh City is even clearer.
“In the morning there is less fog due to lower production, traffic and construction. The more pollutants that are released into the air at noon, the less visibility we will see.” Lan said.
Ms. Lan added that there is another phenomenon that is more dangerous than dry blindness: if it does not rain, the humidity in the air is low, but there is still fog, which means that the air is very polluted.
According to Ms. Lan, the people of Ho Chi Minh City currently do not have access to information on air quality and do not know the level of danger from daily weather events. Ms. Lan warned people to protect themselves, wear sunglasses and masks when going outside to protect their health.
