Advice for tourists traveling in the Northwest region:
With forecasts that the Northwest will have rain, moderate rain, locally heavy to very heavy rain with thunderstorms, tourists should regularly follow weather forecasts and warnings before and throughout the journey.
When traveling by car or motorbike through steep mountain passes, it is necessary to reduce speed, maintain a safe distance and limit traffic during heavy rain due to the risk of landslides, rolling rocks, localized flooding or limited visibility. At the same time, it is not advisable to cross underpasses, streams or fast-flowing water areas when the safety level has not been assessed.
For outdoor activities such as trekking, camping, conquering mountain peaks or exploring waterfalls, tourists should consider adjusting their itinerary if thunderstorms appear.
It is necessary to prepare enough raincoats, warm clothes, anti-slip shoes, waterproof bags for electronic devices, necessary medicines and power banks.
When there are signs of thunderstorms, lightning or strong gusts of wind, you should quickly find a solid shelter, avoid standing under tall trees, near power poles, cliffs or areas prone to landslides to ensure safety for yourself and your companions.
