High mountain peaks in northern and north central Vietnam recorded simultaneous low temperatures, with Dong Van and Sin Ho dropping to 2 degrees Celsius on the morning of 28/11.
On the morning of 19/11, all 15 northern provinces and cities recorded temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius, with Mau Son (Lang Son) dropping to just over 3 degrees and Hanoi registering 13 degrees at several monitoring stations.
The strongest cold front of the season is set to bring temperatures in high mountainous areas down below 5 degrees C, while northern plains will see temperatures ranging from 12-15 degrees C.
Is there a scientific basis for the traditional method of using boiled chicken eggs, coins, or silver chains to rub the body for cold relief? (Ngan, 30, Ho Chi Minh City)
