Peak tides in Ho Chi Minh City are forecast at 1.6-1.85 metres from September 28-30, above alert level 3, risking deep flooding.
Heavy rain coinciding with a high tide flooded several streets in Ho Chi Minh City on Sunday afternoon, making it difficult for residents to get around during rush hour.
The prolonged heavy rain in Ho Chi Minh City and Southern Vietnam is still within the rainy season pattern, but the combination of various weather patterns means the rain can be heavy, widespread, and long-lasting.
