According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, the Central Highlands and the South will have moderate rain, heavy rain and thunderstorms, locally very heavy rain with common rainfall of 40-80mm, locally over 120mm (rain concentrated in the afternoon and night).
The area from Da Nang to Binh Thuan will have rain, moderate rain and scattered thunderstorms, locally heavy to very heavy rain with rainfall from 20-40mm, locally over 90mm (rain concentrated in the evening and at night). Heavy rain in the Central Highlands and the South is likely to last until around September 18-19.
In the evening and night of September 15, the Northern region will have scattered showers and thunderstorms, locally heavy rain with rainfall from 10-30mm, locally over 60mm. Thunderstorms are likely to cause tornadoes, lightning and strong gusts of wind.
Floods on Luc Nam River and Thai Binh River will fall below level 3 and above level 2; on Cau River at Dap Cau and Hoang Long River at Ben De will continue to fall but still above level 3; Thuong River at Phu Lang Thuong will fall below level 3 and above level 2.
The process of flood drainage and reduction on the Red River system is likely to be slow, so flooding will continue for many days in low-lying areas along the river and alluvial areas outside the main dike in the following provinces/cities: Hanoi, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh, Thai Nguyen, Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh, Thai Binh, Ha Nam, Hai Duong.
Flood water levels in the downstream of the Red River in Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh are currently high (above BD2-BD3), so there is still a risk of affecting riverbank dykes and landslides at key locations.
