Hanoi, July 31 (VNA)  - Vietnam's northern provinces, including the capital city of Hanoi, and the central province of Thanh Hoa are experiencing a blistering heat wave, according to National Centre for Hydro-Meteorology Forecasting. 

Temperatures in recent days have ranged from 35 to more than 37 degrees Celsius.
