Heavy rain is expected in the North starting tonight.

The Northern Delta will experience cooling thunderstorms from tonight, while the midland and mountainous areas will have heavy rain with a total amount exceeding 200 mm over the three days from August 5-7.

The northern mountainous region has experienced rain since last night due to the influence of a low-pressure trough. The National Center for Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting reported that rainfall from 7 PM yesterday to 5 AM today was 208 mm in Dao San ( Lai Chau ) and 62 mm in Viet Vinh (Tuyen Quang).

Rain is forecast to continue in this area until the morning of August 7th, with total rainfall generally ranging from 70-100 mm, and locally exceeding 200 mm. The rain will be concentrated in the late afternoon and evening, with a risk of rainfall exceeding 100 mm in three hours.

Over the next 6 hours, the mountainous and hilly areas of Northern Vietnam are at risk of flash floods and landslides in 8 communes in Cao Bang province; two communes each in Tuyen Quang and Lai Chau provinces; and three communes each in Lao Cai and Son La provinces.

The Northern Delta will experience rain starting tonight, with amounts generally ranging from 20-40 mm, and some areas receiving over 70 mm. The meteorological agency warns that thunderstorms following a series of hot days may be accompanied by extreme weather phenomena such as tornadoes, lightning, hail, and strong gusts of wind.

Over the past two weeks, the northern mountainous region, particularly Dien Bien and Son La, has been affected by two periods of heavy rain. In Dien Bien, floods and landslides resulted in 10 deaths and 12 injuries; in Son La, 5 people died and one is missing. Approximately 600 houses collapsed or were swept away; thousands more were deeply submerged.

Many major roads have been blocked by landslides, cutting off traffic and hindering rescue, relief, and humanitarian aid efforts.
