(Baohatinh.vn) - Under the sweltering heat of midday summer, many workers in Ha Tinh try to find a place to rest under the trees and on the sidewalk.

These days, the weather in Ha Tinh is extremely hot. The outdoor temperature is up to 37, 38 degrees Celsius, even higher in some areas. The high temperature makes people "afraid" to go out from around 11am onwards, so the number of vehicles on the traffic routes is also reduced compared to normal days.

Despite the hot weather, for freelance workers in the central area of Ha Tinh City, coping with the heat of noon seems to be all too familiar. They take advantage of the shade from the rows of trees to take a nap. Photo taken on Bui Duong Lich Street, Ha Tinh City.
A fitful sleep on the sidewalk in the hot weather combined with Lao wind is not at all pleasant.
To avoid light, workers must use protective clothing, hats, and caps.
Tran Phu Park area - where there is shade from dense trees - is also chosen by workers for their lunch break.
Even resting under the shade of trees is not easy. However, for them, taking a nap to regain strength to continue working in the afternoon is more important.
“No one wants to sleep on the sidewalk under this scorching heat, but there is no other choice. The distance from home to the center of Ha Tinh city is far, it takes a lot of time to go back and have lunch. After thinking it over, taking a nap on the sidewalk is faster and more convenient for work,” said Nguyen Thi Lien (born in 1985, residing in Ho Do commune, Ha Tinh city).
Meanwhile, Ms. Tran Thi Lan (born in 1982, residing in Thach Khe commune, Ha Tinh city) shared that at first she was not used to resting on the sidewalk. She was about to take a nap when the sound of vehicles passing by woke her up, but after a while she got used to it and now sometimes "it's harder to sleep without the sound of vehicles". Short naps on the street, under the scorching heat of summer days, help freelance workers regain their strength to continue their work in the center of Ha Tinh city.
