The Humid Season is a characteristic weather phenomenon in the northeastern provinces of Vietnam, occurring when the humidity in the air reaches over 90%. Signs of humid weather include condensation on walls, floors, and furniture. Therefore, the humid season significantly affects daily hygiene and human health. So, when does the humid season occur? How long does it last? Let’s answer these questions through the article below to find the most effective solutions.
When does the humid season occur? How long does it last?
Every year, during late spring (from around February to the end of April), the humid phenomenon occurs in the northern provinces, especially in the Northeast region. The duration of the humid season in North Vietnam depends on the northeast monsoon winds (humid winds in North Vietnam).
How long does the humid weather last? Typically, each humid period lasts for a few days or even a week. The severity of the humidity depends on the temperature difference between the surface and the air. Usually, in March, there are about 4 to 5 humid periods of varying durations.
How does the humid season affect daily life?
Humid weather causes many discomforts for people and daily life, such as:
Impact on houses
During the humid season, houses are often damp or even waterlogged, especially in areas like floors, stairs, and glass doors. Moreover, if your house is not well-designed for waterproofing and moisture resistance, the humid season can cause wall seepage, peeling paint, and create favorable conditions for bacteria and mold to grow.
Impact on health
The sudden change in weather from cold and dry to humid can easily make the body tired and lethargic, as well as susceptible to respiratory diseases such as pneumonia or bronchitis. There is also a risk of skin diseases or genital infections due to damp and moldy clothes.
Effective ways to overcome humidity during the humid season
The humid season is quite uncomfortable, but it is not without solutions. You can refer to some of the following ways to combat humidity:
Turn on the air conditioner and set it to dry mode to reduce humidity
If your family has a two-way air conditioner, turn it on and set it to dry mode. In dry mode, the air conditioner will dehumidify and circulate the air evenly in the house. This is a quite common and effective solution.
Use dehumidifying materials
Usually, people prepare a lot of towels and rags to absorb excess water in the house during the humid season. However, if you don’t have enough towels and rags, prepare a basin of charcoal and place it under chairs or beds… it will help absorb moisture from the air.
Alternatively, you can also place some newspapers at doorways, sinks, and doormats… This will help absorb moisture for a short period. This can be a quite effective way to combat humidity when you lack rags in the house and the humid season lasts longer than expected.
Use a dehumidifier during the humid season
Currently, there are many types of dehumidifiers on the market to address the problems caused by the humid season. If your family can afford it, you should buy a dehumidifier to use. It will always keep your house dry and ventilated.
Deodorize the air during the humid season
The humid season brings cold, damp, and unpleasant-smelling air. You can use essential oil diffusers to address this problem. Essential oils with pleasant scents like orange, lemon, lemongrass, tea tree, cinnamon, and herbs… will help purify the air in your house and give you a feeling of warmth and relaxation.
Close the house doors during the humid season
People often make the mistake of turning on the fan and opening the house doors for ventilation, thinking that doing so will allow the water vapor to escape and the floor will be less wet. However, that’s a serious mistake. Therefore, what you should do is close all the doors, cover, and seal the ventilation holes. This will limit the exchange of humid air with the outside environment, thereby helping to reduce condensation and moisture on your floor.
Burn scented candles in the house
Burning scented candles in the house is also a good way to care for your home during humid weather. Scented candles have a pleasant fragrance similar to using essential oils. Moreover, the candlelight and warmth from the candles will bring a cozy and relaxing atmosphere to your family on humid evenings.
Thus, through the above article, we have helped you answer questions about the humid season that usually occurs at the beginning of each year, along with its disadvantages. Therefore, learn more about humid weather to find appropriate solutions for your family.
