- Severe rainfall triggered widespread flooding in the historic cities of Hue and Hoi An in central Vietnam.
- Hue experienced its highest-ever 24-hour rainfall, leading to nearly five-meter water levels in the Perfume River.
- More than 40,000 tourists were evacuated in Hoi An, and rail services between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City were halted.
- Natural disasters this year have resulted in 187 deaths and caused damages worth 16.1 trillion dong across Vietnam.
The flood was rising so fast and we had to quickly relocate our guests to other hotels outside the flooding area for their safety.— Nguyen Ngoc Anh, a hotelier near the Thu Bon river in Hoi An, described the dramatic evacuation measures during the floods.
