The thick fog made the visibility limited. At more than 7 o'clock, many passersby still had to turn on their lights.
While some people were interested in the foggy weather, others were concerned about its effects on their health. “In recent days, the city is vaporous. And I don’t know whether it is mist or dust”, Hanh was quoted by VNE as saying.

By 8:30 a.m., the mist dispersed.
According to weather expert Le Thi Xuan Lan, the mist was triggered by the cold spell in the North overflowing to the South.
"Mist appears in the early morning and quickly lifts as the sun rises. However, the remaining dust particles with tiny diameters still easily penetrate into our lungs. Therefore, people should wear face masks and glasses when going out”.
