Floods this year are more and more powerful

The Central Hydrometeorological Center is deploying a project to install 74 automatic anemometer for coastal monitoring stations and a weather radar station in Dong Ha (Quang Tri) to forecast the storm.

According to the Central Center for Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting, this year, whirlwinds and flash floods will occur with more frequency and stronger than the previous years. Therefore, the Center is urgently strengthening equipment for storm forecasting.

These devices are worth tens of billions of dong, expected to be operational before the April rainy and storm season.

Dr. Nguyen Lan Chau, deputy director of the Central Hydrometeorological Forecast Center, said that this year, about 6-7 strong storms affected Vietnam and there were many heavy and prolonged heavy rains. Due to the impacts of climate change, the phenomenon of whirlwinds and flooding will occur more frequently and more strongly than in 2007.

According to the forecast, the biggest flood peak in the Red and Da river systems is at alarming level 3; Thai Binh and Lo rivers are higher than alarm 3 and higher than 2007 flood peaks; for river systems in Central, North Central, higher than alarm 2 and alarm alert 3; for river systems in Central, South Central, and Central Highlands higher than alarm 3; The rivers in the South have a higher flood peak than Alarm 3 and higher than 2007.

However, in the big floods there are still fierce sunshine. In this winter-spring crop, the situation of water shortage and drought will occur in the North until the beginning of June, occurring in the Central Highlands and Central provinces until early September.

For the dry season, due to the influence of high tide, saline intrusion and deep in the estuarine areas of the South, Central and Northern Delta will be caused. In terms of flood purchasing, due to the influence of high tides, the sea level rises and the effects of storms and floods in coastal areas last for many days.

Before this situation, TS. Chau suggested that the authorities and the community actively and positively prepare to cope with the unusual phenomena of the weather and reduce damage to the maximum extent.

In 2007, the map to identify the location of storms along with dissemination of the center's hydro-meteorological knowledge was successfully and effectively deployed to people and fishermen in stormy areas. This year, this map will be reprinted, improved and distributed to people before the rainy season.
