For me it is. The rain clears up the pollution, does not bother too much, and I can go to the swimming pool today or any day in the year.

I do not think, this is my personal opinion, of course, that it is that bad as in the paper. Bc if you say it rains for 7 months people would run away. If you say, from those only 2-3 like every day, it rains in very concentrated spurts and does not clash with activities (if you work most of the day) and it cleans the air and you can still go to the swimming pool, for example, all year.
I do not think it is that bad after 11 years in Vietnam.

Saigon’s pm2.5 levels are significantly worse than the worst US city. >I do not think it is that bad after 11 years in Vietnam. It’s not that bad because you’re used to it is not a selling point.
- germandiago 4y agoIt is not a selling point but it is not a bad thing in this case. It is better to have rain when there is pollution. I think we can agree on that.
- sarchertech 4y agoSure a place with bad are quality with daily rain is probably preferable to a place with bad air quality without daily rain. But assuming you don’t live in one of the 20 or so large cities in the world with worse air quality than Saigon, that point is irrelevant to this discussion.
