After 10 PM, many areas in Ho Chi Minh City, from the city center to the outskirts, experienced heavy rain, accompanied by extreme weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, lightning, and strong gusts of wind, posing a danger to pedestrians.
The heavy rain, which lasted for over an hour, caused severe flooding in many areas. Strong gusts of wind blew away many signs and knocked down trees.
Earlier, at 9:30 PM, the Southern Vietnam Regional Meteorological and Hydrological Station issued a warning of rain accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning for the entire Ho Chi Minh City area.
The agency stated that monitoring satellite cloud imagery, weather radar images, and lightning location data shows that thunderstorms are developing strongly and causing thunderstorms across most districts of Ho Chi Minh City. In addition, thunderstorm clouds in Binh Duong , Dong Nai, and Vung Tau are also tending to move towards Ho Chi Minh City.
The agency warned that over the next three hours, thunderstorms will continue to bring rain, thunderstorms, and lightning to the entire Ho Chi Minh City area, with some places experiencing moderate to heavy rain. Afterwards, the clouds will move and expand in an east-northeast to west-southwest direction to other neighboring districts and counties, causing thunderstorms.
At the same time, thunderstorm clouds currently present over neighboring provinces, after moving to Ho Chi Minh City, will continue to cause showers and thunderstorms throughout the city. Rainfall amounts will generally range from 10-30mm, with some areas receiving over 40mm. During thunderstorms, be wary of lightning and strong gusts of wind (approximately level 5-7, 8-17 m/s).
