The peak tide of this period is likely to appear on November 2-3 (ie October 2-3 of the lunar calendar) and at the following levels:

At Phu An station (Sai Gon river) and Nha Be station (Dong Dien canal), the level can reach 1.55-1.60m (approximately or 0.05m lower than Alarm III). The peak tide time is 5-6am and 5-7pm.

At Thu Dau Mot station, it may reach 1.63-1.68m (0.03-0.08m above Alarm Level III); at Bien Hoa station, it may reach 1.80-1.85m (approximately or 0.05m above Alarm Level I). The disaster risk level in the downstream area of Saigon - Dong Nai River is at level 2.
