Signification
Asking about the weather conditions.
Contexte culturel
In the North, weather talk often revolves around the four seasons. People are particularly vocal about the 'nồm' (extreme humidity) in spring. In the South, people distinguish between the 'mùa mưa' (rainy season) and 'mùa khô' (dry season). Rain often comes in quick, heavy bursts. For farmers, weather is a matter of livelihood. Asking about the weather is a way of asking 'How is your work going?' Weather dictates traffic. A sudden rain can cause massive traffic jams as everyone stops to put on raincoats.
