Is winter coming to my hometown?

It is really cold right now in Vinh city. The temperature suddenly drops about 10 degrees within a day. This small heat change was predicted by the weather forecast agency, but I still find it intolerable. That’s why this post came out of my mind.

An old picture taken under the rain near my house. Is it beautiful?

It has been a while since the last time I welcomed the monsoon at my hometown. Unlike Hanoi where it only decreases the temperature, the monsoon brings continuous drizzles to Vinh city - what makes the cold even more extreme. Till now, it has rained for two consecutive days without any interruption. I have to admit that this terrible situation is not my cup of tea. I am the kind of person who is terrified of the hot and the cold. I would prefer it be sunny and warm outside. Tell me, what kind of weather you love?

From scientific view, Vinh is located in the North Central of Vietnam and in the tropical region that means it has 4 distinctive seasons. The winters are not too freezing and the temperature never goes below zero degree. However, the summers are boiling hot. The strong winds from Laos lower the humidity level, thus I am sure that you will feel like getting burned whenever you are exposed under the sun. The fact is my hometown always has to suffer from the severe weather conditions. Last month, a heavy storm came with flood had killed more than ten people and caused serious economic damage. Thousands of poultry and cattle were lost. Thoudsands of hectares of crops were wiped out. Its affects seems to be unbearable.

In my opinion, recent floods in Vietnam are not caused by the big things like global warming or climate change, what we have heard on public media day by day. The simple reason could be indiscriminate cutting down trees in the forests. People have to pay an expensive cost in return for what they did to the nature. That’s for sure. O__O
