According to information from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, last night and this morning in the provinces of Dien Bien, Lai Chau, Lao Cai, and Ha Giang there were showers and thunderstorms, with some heavy rain.

Thunderstorms may cause tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind. Localized heavy rains may cause flash floods on small rivers and streams, landslides on steep slopes and flooding in low-lying areas.

In Sa Pa ( Lao Cai ), due to the impact of heavy rain, this morning, at km3 of provincial road 152 (Cau May ward), a landslide occurred, causing traffic jam.

Immediately after learning of the situation, the People's Committee of Cau May Ward mobilized forces to coordinate with people and businesses to overcome and level rocks and soil, ensuring safety for people and vehicles passing through.

Hail in Lai Chau usually occurs in March every year. This year, hail appeared earlier, showing that the weather is complicated and unpredictable. Local authorities, functional agencies, and people need to proactively prepare plans to prevent natural disasters.
