Weather on October 10: Flood on Cau River reaches peak, many midland and delta areas of the North are still deeply flooded

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, on the night of October 9, the flood on Cau River (Bac Ninh) peaked at 7.52m (at 11pm), exceeding the alarm level 3 by 1.22m and is currently slowly receding. Floods on Trung River (Lang Son) and Thuong River (Bac Ninh) are also on a downward trend.

It is forecasted that in the next 12 hours, the flood on Cau River at Dap Cau station will continue to slowly decrease but will still be above alert level 3. The flood on Thuong River at Cau Son station, Phu Lang Thuong station and on Trung River ( Lang Son ) at Huu Lung station will continue to decrease but will remain at a high level. In the next 12-24 hours, the water level on these rivers will continue to decrease, but will still be higher than alert level 3.

The warning said that in the next 24 hours, floods on the Luc Nam River (Bac Giang) and the Thai Binh River (Hai Phong) will tend to decrease, but will still be above alert level 1. Due to the large amount of water flowing downstream, widespread flooding in the provinces of Thai Nguyen, Bac Ninh, and Lang Son is likely to last for the next 2-3 days. The risk of riverbank and dyke erosion and landslides on slopes in the Northern midland region remains high. The level of natural disaster risk due to floods is warned at level 3.

Floods on rivers cause inundation of low-lying areas along rivers, seriously affecting waterway traffic, aquaculture, agricultural production, people's lives and socio-economic activities.
