The impact of exceptionally heavy rain upstream has caused the water level of the Huong River at Kim Long and the Bo River at Phu Oc to be at approximately level 3 alarm, causing the risk of flooding and landslides in many areas.

The Hue City Civil Defense Command said that in the afternoon and night of November 2, the water level on the Huong River at Kim Long and the Bo River at Phu Oc is forecast to gradually increase to near alert level 3.

Water levels on Truoi River, O Lau River and other rivers are fluctuating at high levels causing flooding, flash floods, landslides and mudslides.

It is forecasted that in the next 3 to 6 hours, the rain will spread to the entire city of Hue; especially in the above communes, it will still rain especially heavily.
