A widespread spell of heavy rain is sweeping across many parts of Vietnam. In the mountainous north, locally intense downpours are forecast to continue, heightening the risk of flash floods and landslides.

Noul, the second storm to enter the East Sea this year, could rapidly strengthen to force 11-12 as it tracks west-northwest toward southern China.

A strengthening El Niño could cut short the rainy season in southern Vietnam, accelerating water shortages and allowing saltwater to penetrate deep into the Mekong Delta.

Tropical Storm Noul is forecast to enter the East Sea early July 25 and strengthen further before heading toward China’s Guangdong province.

Hanoi and 14 other northern provinces and cities are on high alert ahead of a fresh spell of heavy rain forecast for July 23–25, as authorities race to prevent further flooding, flash floods and landslides after recent deadly weather.

A tropical depression over waters east of the Philippines is forecast to enter the East Sea within the next 48 hours before strengthening into a tropical storm, potentially becoming Storm No. 2 of the 2026 typhoon season.

A medium-to-strong El Nino is forecast to affect Vietnam through 2027, with potentially severe consequences for rainfall, river flows, agriculture and water supplies.

Weather authorities are monitoring a tropical system that could develop into a storm over the East Sea as northern Vietnam prepares for several days of heavy rainfall and heightened flood risks.

A strengthening El Niño is expected to peak toward the end of 2026, bringing hotter temperatures, fewer but potentially more destructive storms, and a heightened risk of drought across Vietnam.

After days of widespread downpours, northern Vietnam may face another round of heavy rain as a tropical convergence zone is forecast to affect the region.

Widespread rain and thunderstorms will persist across northern Vietnam over the next two days, bringing localized downpours, urban flooding and dangerous weather conditions.

Typhoon Bavi has weakened to Category 14 intensity and is forecast to make landfall between China's Fujian and Zhejiang provinces late on July 11 or early July 12, without entering the East Sea.

Vietnam's weather agency says Super Typhoon Bavi poses no direct threat to the East Sea but will still trigger strong winds and high waves.

Heavy rain is returning to northern Vietnam, prompting warnings of flash floods, landslides and hazardous weather across mountainous provinces.

A dramatic waterspout off Hung Yen highlights worsening weather conditions as forecasters warn of more storms through July 11.

Vietnam's weather agency says Super Typhoon Bavi is unlikely to enter the East Sea but could still affect marine conditions later this week.

As Tropical Storm Maysak weakens after crossing southern China, attention has shifted to Super Typhoon Bavi, whose powerful circulation could influence weather over the East Sea.

Hai Phong has intensified preparations for Storm Maysak, using a coastal radar system on Bach Long Vi special zone to track fishing vessels and help guide them to safe harbour.
