Floods are gradually receding on rivers in the South Central region.

According to the representative of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, flood water in Dak Lak and Khanh Hoa is on a downward trend but is still at a very high level. After November 21, floods may move up to the Central Central region.

Flood water is on the decline but is still at a very high level.

At noon on November 20, Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam, Deputy Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting (Department of Hydro-Meteorology, Ministry of Agriculture and Environment ) informed about the situation and trend of floods in the Central region.

Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam said that on the night of November 19 and the morning of November 20, the flood on Ky Lo River ( Dak Lak ) exceeded the historical flood peak of 2009, the flood on Ba River (Dak Lak) exceeded the historical flood peak of 1993, and the Dinh - Ninh Hoa River (Khanh Hoa) exceeded the historical flood peak of 1986.

Currently, floods on Kon River, Ky Lo River, Ba River, Dinh - Ninh Hoa River, Cai Nha Trang River, Cai Phan Rang River are still at very high levels, about 0.2 - 2.12m above alert level 3; floods on Krong Ana and Srepok Rivers (Dak Lak) are below alert level 3.

Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam informed about the flood on November 20

Assessing the flood, Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam said that this rain has lasted for many days in the South Central region (from around the night of November 17 until now), after consecutive heavy rains in October and early November.

Due to the impact of cold air and East wind disturbances, some places have experienced extreme rain in a short period of time, for example in Son Thanh Tay and Son Thanh Dong, Hoa My Tay, Son Long, Son Dinh, Song Hinh... recorded rainfall of up to 1,000 - 1,200mm.

Representatives of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that from November 20 to the night of November 21, rain tends to concentrate in the East of Dak Lak province and the North of Khanh Hoa province, with common rainfall of 100-200mm, locally over 350mm. Therefore, the risk of flash floods and landslides in coastal areas and the South Central Highlands remains very high.

The Deputy Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that floods are gradually receding on most rivers in the South Central region, except for the Dinh - Ninh Hoa River, Cai Phan Rang River (Khanh Hoa), and Krong Ana River (Dak Lak) which are rising.

After November 21, the rain in Dak Lak and Khanh Hoa will decrease, and floods on rivers in this area will subside quickly. However, widespread flooding in Gia Lai, Dak Lak, and Khanh Hoa provinces will continue after the rain and floods have decreased. At the same time, the rain in the Central region has not ended, and after November 21, it will move north of the current flood and rain area, with the main rain in Quang Ngai, Da Nang, and Hue.
