According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, at 8:00 p.m. on September 12, the flood on Cau River ( Bac Ninh province) peaked at 7.79m (1.49m above alert level 3), 0.05m below the historical flood level in 1971 (7.84m) and is slowly receding.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting predicts that in the next 12 hours, flood levels on the Red River in Hanoi will drop below alert level 2; on the Luc Nam River will drop below alert level 3; on the Cau River at Dap Cau, the Thuong River at Phu Lang Thuong, the Luc Nam River at Luc Nam, and the Hoang Long River at Ben De will continue to drop but remain above alert level 3.

In the next 12-24 hours, floods on Cau, Thuong and Hoang Long rivers will continue to recede but remain above alert level 3; Luc Nam and Thai Binh rivers will continue to recede but remain above alert level 2; Red River in Hanoi will fall below alert level 1.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting warns that in the next 24 hours, water levels at many downstream stations of the Red-Thai Binh river system will tend to change slowly, generally at high levels from alert 2 to alert 3, with some places above alert 3.

The process of flood drainage and reduction on the Red River system is likely to be slow, so flooding will continue for many days 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.

High flood water levels lasting for many days can cause riverbank dykes to overflow, and landslides and embankments can seriously affect vulnerable riverbank locations in the following provinces/cities: Hanoi, Ha Nam, Nam Dinh, Hai Duong, Hung Yen, Thai Binh, Ninh Binh.
