The meteorological agency noted that the above areas are likely to experience tornadoes, lightning and strong gusts of wind during thunderstorms.

The water in the Bui River area of ​​Chuong My district will drain in 9-11 days.

Regarding the flooding in many low-lying areas, riverbanks, and alluvial areas outside the dikes in some northern provinces, this afternoon, in the 3:30 p.m. bulletin on floods on rivers, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting provided details.

According to Deputy Director Hoang Van Dai, the process of flood drainage and reduction on the Red River system is slow, so flooding still occurs in low-lying areas, low-lying areas along rivers, and alluvial areas outside the main dike in the following provinces/cities: Hanoi, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh, Thai Nguyen, Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh, Thai Binh, Ha Nam, Hai Duong.

Water levels at 1:00 p.m. this afternoon on the rivers are as follows: Cau River at Dap Cau 6.80m, 0.50m above alarm level 3; Thuong River at Phu Lang Thuong 6.23m, 0.07m below alarm level 3; Luc Nam River at Luc Nam 5.40m, 0.10m above alarm level 2; Hoang Long River at Ben De 4.27m, 0.27m above alarm level 3; Thai Binh River at Pha Lai 5.19m, 0.19m above alarm level 2;

In particular, the water level on Thao River (in Yen Bai, Phu Tho); on Lo River (in Tuyen Quang, Vu Quang), on Red River (in Viet Tri, Son Tay, Hanoi) has dropped below level 1.

It is forecasted that in the next 24 hours (from 3:30 p.m. on September 14), water levels at many downstream stations of the Red River - Thai Binh River system will tend to decrease slowly, generally from BĐ2 to above BĐ3, and in some places above BĐ3.

Specifically, in the next 12 hours, flood levels on Cau River at Dap Cau and Hoang Long River at Ben De will continue to decrease but remain above level 3; on Thuong River will continue to decrease but remain above level 2; on Luc Nam River and Thai Binh River will continue to decrease below level 2 and above level 1.

From the next 12-24 hours, flood levels on Cau River at Dap Cau, Thuong River and Hoang Long River will continue to decrease but remain above level 2; on Luc Nam River and Thai Binh River, flood levels will continue to decrease below level 2 and above level 1.

Mr. Dai commented that with the forecasted decrease in rain in the coming days, the flooding situation in low-lying areas along the river will gradually improve.

Of which, the water receding time in low-lying areas along the Bui River in Chuong My district is from 9-11 days, along the Tich River about 6-8 days, downstream of the Ca Lo River 2-4 days, and the Nhue River from 2-3 days.

In the areas outside the dike downstream of the Red River - Thai Binh (provinces of Bac Giang, Bac Ninh, Ha Nam, Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh, Hung Yen, Thai Binh, Hai Duong), the water withdrawal time will last from 3-5 days. For areas that do not actively drain, it may take longer.

The meteorological agency still warns that the risk of natural disasters due to floods on Thai Binh, Cau, and Hoang Long rivers is still at level 3; Thuong and Luc Nam rivers are at level 2.

In addition, in the next 24 hours, flood water levels in the downstream of the Red River in Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh are currently high (above flood level 2-3), so there is still a risk of affecting riverbank dykes and landslides at key locations.

Deep flooding, flooding of riverside areas, low-lying areas, and widespread flooding in some agricultural production areas, aquaculture areas, and local residential areas may endanger people's lives and production, threaten people's lives and property; affect waterway traffic activities and socio-economic activities in the downstream of the Red River - Thai Binh River.

Ho Chi Minh City begins to experience widespread, continuous heavy rain in the afternoon rush hour.
