According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, in the past 24 hours (from 8:00 a.m. on June 12 to 8:00 a.m. on June 13), in the provinces from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai and Kon Tum province, there has been moderate to heavy rain such as: Ho Mac Khe (Ha Tinh) 305mm, Le Thuy (Quang Binh) 367.2mm, Hai Lam (Quang Tri) 462.4mm, Hong Van (Hue City) 526.4mm, Dien Ngoc (Quang Nam) 210.4mm, Tra Nham (Quang Ngai) 58.4mm, Dak Sao ( Kon Tum) 117.4mm...
Soil moisture models show that some areas in the above provinces are nearly saturated (over 85%) or have reached a saturated state.
In the next 3 - 6 hours (from 8:30 a.m. on June 13), the provinces from Ha Tinh to Hue City will continue to have rain with common accumulated rainfall from 30 - 70mm, some places over 100mm; from Da Nang city to Quang Ngai and Kon Tum, commonly from 10 - 20mm, some places over 30mm.
In the next 6 hours (from 8:30 a.m. on June 13), there is a high/very high risk of flash floods on small rivers and streams, landslides on steep slopes in many districts.
The warning level of natural disaster risk due to flash floods, landslides, and land subsidence due to floods or water flow is level 1, with Quang Tri province, Hue city and Da Nang city being level 2.
Flash floods and landslides can have a very negative impact on the environment, threatening people's lives; causing local traffic congestion, affecting the movement of vehicles; destroying civil and economic works, causing damage to production activities and socio-economic activities.
The meteorological agency recommends that local authorities pay attention to reviewing bottlenecks and vulnerable locations in the area to take preventive and response measures.
Regarding the hydrological situation, the flood on the Huong River in Hue is currently rising. At 7:00 a.m. on June 13, the water level in Kim Long reached 2.14 m, exceeding alert level 2 by 0.14 m.
In the next 6 hours (from 9:00 a.m. on June 13), the flood on the Huong River will continue to rise and peak, then gradually decrease. From the next 6 to 24 hours, the water level on the river will continue to decrease and fluctuate around alert level 1.
The meteorological agency warns of a high risk of landslides in mountainous areas, riverbank landslides and localized flooding in low-lying areas along rivers, especially in urban areas of Hue city. The risk level of natural disasters due to floods is level 2.
Floods on the Huong River can cause flooding in low-lying areas along the river, affecting waterway traffic, aquaculture, agricultural production, people's lives and socio-economic activities in the area.
The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that the forecast information is based on the assumption of discharge flow from upstream reservoirs. The bulletins will be updated promptly if there are changes in the regulation regime of reservoirs.
