The meteorological agency also issued a high tide warning for the coastal areas of the Southeast region. According to the report, the highest water level recorded at the Vung Tau hydrological station at 2:30 AM on the 3rd day of Tet (Lunar New Year) was 4.31 meters. Wave data indicates that the wave height in the coastal waters of the Southeast region is generally 2-3 meters and will remain at this level for the next 24 hours.

Over the next 24 hours, coastal water levels in the southeastern region of Vietnam will remain high, with the highest level at the Vung Tau station potentially reaching 4.25 meters.

The combined effects of high tides, strong winds, and large waves in low-lying areas, riverside areas, and areas outside the dikes in the southeastern coastal region of Vietnam are likely to experience flooding during the early morning and afternoon hours, increasing the risk of saltwater intrusion on rivers in the southeastern region.
