According to Mr. Tran Van Hung - Deputy Director of the Southern Hydrometeorological Station, from July to September - the peak of the rainy season, the total rainfall this year is only approximately the average of many years.
It is noteworthy that rainfalls tend to be locally extreme, that is, very heavy rain in a short time, easily causing flooding in major cities such as Ho Chi Minh City.
Instead of prolonged hours of rain, the prominent trend is strong thunderstorms in a short time. At that time, thunderstorms, tornadoes, lightning and strong gusts of wind will become risks that need special attention.
