Vietnam weather: Heavy rain and cold spells trigger floods and landslides FAST-MOVING

Vietnam weather flooding landslides cold spell natural disasters

Central Vietnam is experiencing severe weather as heavy rainfall, with some areas recording over 700 mm, triggers widespread flooding, landslides, and infrastructure damage. In Khanh Hoa, floodwaters submerged construction machinery at the Thac Ngua bridge site. In Thanh Hoa, heavy rains caused the Bai Sim bridge on the Nghi Son-Bai Tranh route to collapse and flooded local cemeteries.

In Quang Tri, flooding on National Highway 15D near the La Lay international border gate caused significant traffic congestion, leaving hundreds of trucks stranded. Authorities also rescued 10 people trapped in a forest due to rising waters. In Quang Ngai, officials evacuated dozens of households in the Dak Re mountain area due to landslide risks.

Simultaneously, a strong cold spell is affecting Northern Vietnam, with temperatures in mountainous regions dropping below 10 degrees Celsius. In Hue, heavy rains forced schools in the Huong Tra and Hoa Chau wards to suspend classes to ensure student safety. Authorities have also ordered hydroelectric reservoirs, including Huong Dien and Binh Dien, to adjust water discharge to manage downstream flood risks.
