Therefore, the highest peak tide level of the day reaching approximately level 1 is likely to appear from January 29 (ie the first day of Tet).

The meteorological station noted that high water levels could cause flooding in low-lying areas, riverbanks and some roads in the city such as Huynh Tan Phat, Tran Xuan Soan (District 7), Le Van Luong, Dao Su Tich, Pham Huu Lau (Nha Be District) and National Highway 50 (Binh Chanh District)...

Flooding caused by high tides can affect traffic and socio-economic development.
