(Baonghean)- The intense heat that has lasted for more than a week has caused the demand for fresh food products in traditional markets to decrease sharply, while cooling fruits are very popular on days when temperatures reach 39 - 40 degrees Celsius.
Recorded at some traditional markets and on the streets of Vinh city on May 28:
 |
| People often choose to buy food and vegetables on the roadside and at flea markets early in the morning to avoid the heat (Photo taken on Nguyen Trung Ngan Street - Vinh City) |
 |
| It was just after 10am but the pork stalls at Quan Lau market were already empty. Many small traders selling this item complained that due to the hot weather, their goods were unsold, and purchasing power had dropped by nearly half compared to early May. |
