Regarding the flood situation in the North, the meteorological agency said that the process of flood drainage and reduction on the Red River system is likely to be slow, so flooding will continue for many days in low-lying areas, low-lying areas along rivers, and alluvial areas outside the main dike in the following provinces/cities: Hanoi, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh, Thai Nguyen, Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh, Thai Binh , Ha Nam, Hai Duong.

With forecasted reduced rain in the coming days, flooding in low-lying areas along the river will gradually improve, specifically:

In addition to the Red River dike in Hanoi, water will be drained in the next 1-2 days, especially the low-lying areas in Chuong My along the Bui River in 8-10 days, the Tich River in about 6-8 days, the downstream of the Ca Lo River in 2-3 days, and the Nhue River in 1-2 days.

In the downstream riverside areas of the Red River - Thai Binh (provinces of Bac Giang, Bac Ninh, Ha Nam, Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh, Hung Yen, Thai Binh, Hai Duong), the water withdrawal time will be 2-3 days longer.

In addition, the mountainous areas of the North are still at risk of landslides on steep slopes even though the rain has decreased.
