VOV.VN - Although tropical storm Maysak has weakened and no longer directly affects the mainland, heavy rain continues across northern Vietnam, prompting authorities to warn of persistent risks of flash floods and landslides in vulnerable areas.
Meteorologists reported that Maysak’s remnants, combined with a low-pressure trough and upper-level wind convergence, continue to bring widespread showers and thunderstorms across Northern Vietnam, increasing the risk of flash floods, landslides and localised flooding.
According to the Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention and Control under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, many parts of the country have experienced moderate to heavy rain in recent days, with particularly intense downpours recorded in mountainous provinces in the north.
Forecasters expected the northern region to receive between 10 mm and 30 mm of rainfall on July 8, with some areas likely to record more than 100 mm. Heavy showers and thunderstorms are also forecast for the Central Highlands and southern regions, where rainfall could exceed 70 mm in isolated locations.
Weather experts warned that although the typhoon has dissipated, saturated ground conditions following days of persistent rainfall continue to pose a significant threat in northern mountainous areas.
The risk of flash floods along small rivers and streams, as well as landslides on steep slopes, remains high, particularly in locations that have experienced prolonged rainfall over recent days.
The severe weather has already caused damage in several localities. In Lai Chau province, heavy rain damaged 24 houses and affected nearly 21 hectares of rice fields, crops and aquaculture areas. Multiple landslides disrupted national highways and local roads, with relevant forces working to restore traffic.
Meanwhile, in Lao Cai province, one person was killed after being struck by lightning during thunderstorms.
Authorities have instructed local administrations to maintain 24-hour emergency monitoring, closely track rainfall and flood developments, and regularly inspect areas vulnerable to flash floods, landslides and inundation.
Local administrations have also been asked to review evacuation plans and issue timely warnings to residents living in high-risk areas whenever necessary.
With heavy rain expected to continue in the coming days, authorities warned that flash floods, landslides and severe thunderstorms remain a serious threat, especially in mountainous terrain, along rivers and streams, and in locations with a history of slope failures.
VOV.VN - Northern Vietnam is forecast to experience a widespread spell of heavy rainfall from the evening of June 14 through June 16, with some areas expected to receive more than 250mm of rain.
VOV.VN - Heavy rain and thunderstorms have brought much-needed relief to Northern Vietnam after several days of intense heat, with temperatures dropping significantly across the region.
VOV.VN - Heavy rain is forecast to affect the northern mountainous and midland regions of Vietnam from the night of June 28 through June 30, raising the risk of flooding on rivers and streams as well as flash floods, landslides and localised inundation.
