Heavy rain to continue in northern Vietnam, Hanoi to see more showers
VOV.VN - Heavy rain will continue across the mountainous and midland areas of northern Vietnam through July 19, while Hanoi is likely to see intermittent showers and thunderstorms over the next 10 days, according to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.
The northern mountainous and midland regions could receive 50-100 mm of rain, with isolated areas getting more than 250 mm. Short periods of intense rainfall may increase the risk of flash floods and landslides. Thunderstorms may also bring tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong winds.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will also affect the Red River Delta, the Central Highlands and southeastern Vietnam, with most rainfall occurring in the afternoon and evening.
The weather agency said water levels on rivers across northern Vietnam are likely to rise through July 20, increasing the risk of flooding on smaller rivers and in upstream areas.
In Hanoi, intermittent showers and thunderstorms will continue over the coming days, with daytime temperatures generally ranging from 32 to 33 degrees Celsius. No heatwave is forecast over the next 10 days.
