🔥 Gündem Severe Weather Alert: Heavy Rain Expected in Northern Vietnam

As of August 24, 2026, the weather in the region including Ninh Binh and Thanh Hoa is significantly impacted by Tropical Cyclone NARRA and the Southwest Monsoon ¹.

Current Weather Situation and Forecast

Tropical Cyclone NARRA's Impact

Tropical Cyclone NARRA is currently causing heavy rainfall in several northern Vietnamese provinces. The storm is slow-moving, which increases the risk of prolonged and intense precipitation ².

Rainfall Projections

• Northeastern Vietnam (including Ninh Binh): From August 22 through the end of August 23, widespread rainfall of 70-150 mm is forecast. Isolated totals could exceed 300 mm ². Specifically, Ninh Binh is among the provinces expected to receive rainfall locally exceeding 300mm ¹.
• Thanh Hoa Province: Similar to northeastern Vietnam, Thanh Hoa is also forecast to receive widespread rainfall of 70-150 mm, with isolated totals exceeding 300 mm during the same period ². Southern Phu Tho and Thanh Hoa are at risk of flash floods and landslides ¹.
• Nghe An Province: While Nghe An is not explicitly mentioned in the provided sources regarding Tropical Cyclone NARRA's direct impact, its proximity to Thanh Hoa suggests it may also experience adverse weather conditions, potentially including heavy rains and associated risks. However, the exact forecast for Nghe An is not detailed in the given information.

Risks and Hazards

The heavy rainfall associated with NARRA poses several risks:

• Urban and Industrial Flooding: High rainfall amounts, especially those exceeding 300mm, significantly increase the risk of flooding in urban and industrial areas within Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Lang Son, Bac Ninh, Hung Yen, and Ninh Binh ¹.
• Flash Floods and Landslides: Mountainous areas, particularly in Northeast Bo, southern Phu Tho, and Thanh Hoa, are at elevated risk of flash floods and landslides ¹.

Residents in these areas are advised to stay informed about local weather advisories and take necessary precautions against flooding and landslides.
