Afternoon in the mountains descends very quickly. The cold rain and mountainous wind can not stop children going to the "Stars Class". That is the name of a free English and drawing class for ethnic minority children in difficult circumstances living in the border district of A Luoi. In this class, there are only smiles and joy that make the children do not want to leave.

One rainy day in Hue, I received an elaborate and impressive design for artist Dang Mau Tuu’s upcoming painting exhibition in Hanoi. It is surprising because he recently had an exhibition “Aotearoa - a region of white clouds” at Hue Museum of Fine Arts in June 2023, after he had just returned from New Zealand. Four months later, he continued with his own exhibition titled “Specks of dust in life” in Hanoi with 20 works painted on acrylic. This is Dang Mau Tuu’s first solo exhibition in Hanoi.

Due to the heavy rain since the night of November 14 lasting up to now, several sections of the railway through Hue are deeply flooded and it causes many trains to be stuck, making them have to wait at nearby stations to ensure traffic safety.

Heavy rain throughout November 15 caused thousands of houses in key areas across the province to be seriously flooded. The flood also inundated and divided many low-lying areas in Quang Dien, Phong Dien, Phu Vang, Phu Loc districts, etc.

On rainy days in September, I had the opportunity to attend the workshop “Slow to Touch” with the method of healing the body - heart - mind with sound. This method is also known as bell meditation (sound meditation) to create sound waves with many different frequencies, affecting the human body and mind.

Every day at around 4:30 p.m., as long as it doesn't rain, at Thuong Bac Park, Da Vien Park, or at the foot of Truong Tien Bridge, we can easily catch up with a group of about 20 young men and women, who wear loose sportswear, suede flats, and hold skateboards. They often practice and perform attractive sliding movements.

The exhibition “Behind the Doors - Nocturne of Rain” by a group of both domestic and foreign artists has recently commenced and opened to the public on the evening of August 3rd at Diem Phung Thi art space (Hue Museum of Fine Arts, 17 Le Loi Street, Hue City).

"The rain forecasting software has assisted in consulting, directing and operating reservoirs, monitoring rain and flood, and sharing information, contributing to the good implementation of natural disaster prevention and control," assessed Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Hoang Hai Minh at the inauguration ceremony of the project for “Emergency Reservoir Operation and Effective Flood Management Using Water related Disaster Management Information System”, which took place on May 12.

At 3 a.m. athletes competing in the 42km marathon of the VnExpress Marathon Imperial Hue 2023 officially started under light rain.

After a series of cold rainy days, Hue gets dry, being fresh and sunny. Hue is coming in mist season. Unlike many northern provinces, the mist in Hue is just enough to make the dawn rising a little bit later, but it is still poetic and beautiful.
