HÀ NỘI — Torrential rain, combined with continuous rising levels of the Red River on Wednesday, caused severe flooding in some streets and urban areas in Hà Nội, significantly affecting the lives and livelihoods of many residents.

Areas such as Mỹ Đình 2 in front of the Phú Mỹ village gate, Kẻ Vẽ near Vẽ market, Triều Khúc, Cầu Bươu from K Hospital to Yên Xá Canal, Thăng Long Avenue in the intersection with Lê Trọng Tấn, and the Yên Nghĩa underpass from Yên Nghĩa Bus Station to Ba La intersection were all submerged.

The downpour also led to flooding on various downtown streets, making traffic challenging. By around 7am on Wednesday, the Pháp Vân – Cầu Giẽ Expressway in Duyên Thái Commune in Thường Tín District was flooded in both directions, hindering traffic and posing a threat to many vehicles, particularly cars with low ground clearance.

Drivers make their way through the water in Văn Quán Ward in Hà Đông District on Wednesday.

Additionally, the large volume of rainwater overwhelmed drainage systems, resulting in severe flooding in urban areas and apartment complexes like Geleximco Area A on Lê Trọng Tấn in Hoài Đức District and Ecohome 3 in Bắc Từ Liêm District.

Đặng Văn Tuân, a resident of An Khánh Commune in Hoài Đức District, said that many families were using sandbags and other materials to try and block water from entering their homes. Several cars, especially those with low clearance, were submerged and many properties had been damaged.

According to the Director of the National Centre for Hydrometeorological Forecasting, Mai Văn Khiêm, the water level of the Red River in Hà Nội reached 11.1 metres at 11am on Wednesday.

This marks the highest flood level in 20 years, since 2004 when the river rose to 11.04 metres.

By Wednesday afternoon, the flood level in Hà Nội is expected to rise further, reaching 11.3 metres, just 20cm below the third warning level.

While floodwaters may begin to recede tonight, the decrease will be very slow.

Additionally, local rivers such as the Bùi, Tích, and Cà Lồ have all exceeded the third warning level, prolonging the risk of widespread flooding in areas along the rivers and dikes in Hà Nội for at least the next three days.

To reduce risk, the People's Committee of Phúc Xá Ward has advised residents living near the river to move their belongings and prepare for evacuation if emergency orders are issued. The ward has also requested boats and ships to help people relocate and prevent accidents and ensure that any necessary rescue operations are not hindered.
