- Limit trekking or camping overnight in high mountainous forest areas due to the risk of localized heavy rain, landslides and flash floods.
- If traveling by motorbike through mountain passes such as O Quy Ho, Khau Pha, Pha Din... it is necessary to reduce speed due to slippery road surfaces and fog after rain.
- Follow local weather forecasts before visiting terraced fields, hunting clouds or rowing sup, boating at lakes and streams.
- During thunderstorms, do not stand near tall trees, power poles or empty areas.
- Cool weather after rain is quite favorable for experiencing local culture, enjoying highland cuisine and relaxing.
