• Projected Water Levels: By 19:00 today, water levels on the Bồ River, Hương River (Huế), Vũ Gia River, and Thu Bồn River (Đà Nẵng) are forecast to remain high, between 0.7 to 1.3 meters above alarm level three.
• Affected Areas: This will lead to widespread deep flooding in 29 communes and wards in Huế and 40 communes and wards in Đà Nẵng.
• Hà Tĩnh and Quảng Trị: Flooding is also likely to increase in Hà Tĩnh and Quảng Trị today and over the next two days.
• River Level Forecasts: Peak flood levels on the Ngàn Sâu River, Ngàn Phố River (Hà Tĩnh), and Danh River, Tiễn Giang River (Quảng Trị) are expected to reach alarm level two to alarm level three, with some rivers potentially exceeding alarm level three.
• Warnings: Warnings have been issued for deep, widespread flooding in downstream and riverside areas of these rivers.

Landslides and Flash Floods

In addition to flooding, there is a high risk of landslides and flash floods.

• Rainfall Forecast: From today until the end of tomorrow, Nghệ An to Quảng Ngãi will continue to experience heavy rainfall.
• Rainfall Hotspots: The heaviest rainfall is expected in Hà Tĩnh, Quảng Trị, and Huế.
• Total Rainfall: The total rainfall is projected to be between 150 to 250 mm, with some areas receiving over 400 mm.

Weather in Northern Vietnam

Due to the impact of a strong reinforcing cold air mass, Northern Vietnam will continue to experience light rain and cold weather today. High mountainous areas will face severe cold with frost, and the lowest temperatures are expected to range from 16 to 19°C, with some mountainous areas dropping below 15°C.

Synthesis/Conclusion

Central Vietnam is facing severe flooding due to heavy rainfall and rising river levels, with urgent warnings issued for Huế and Đà Nẵng. The risk of landslides and flash floods is also high. Meanwhile, Northern Vietnam is experiencing cold weather and rain due to a cold front. The primary concern is the approaching Typhoon Koinu, which is expected to enter the East Sea and intensify significantly, posing a threat to Vietnam's central coast. The Philippines is already taking extensive measures to prepare for the typhoon's impact.
