Warning of thunderstorms and heavy rain in Lao Cai province

According to information from Lao Cai Hydrometeorological Station, due to the influence of a compressed low pressure trough combined with weak wind convergence above 1,500 m, on the night of April 6, there will be scattered showers and thunderstorms in some areas of the province, with moderate rain in some areas with rainfall ranging from 15 - 30 mm.

During thunderstorms, there is a possibility of tornadoes, lightning and strong gusts of wind, affecting human life and health, breaking trees, damaging houses, infrastructure and agricultural and forestry production. Local heavy rain increases the risk of landslides and rockslides in areas with steep terrain, positive slopes and flooding in low-lying areas along small rivers and streams. Local people need to be on guard to reduce damage caused by natural disasters.
