- No flooding in Hoi An and currently calm weather on the morning of September 19, 2024.
Prolonged heavy rains have caused the Hoai River level to rise, leading to deep flooding in many areas of the ancient town of Hoi An. Many people have to use boats to get around. This is the largest flood of this year (2023) in Hoi An.
On the morning of November 15, 2023, the flood peak of the Thu Bon River in Hoi An was at 1.77 m. Around 7 AM that morning, the water level was measured at 1.52 m, at alarm level 2 it was 0.02 m and was slowly decreasing. The heavy rains in recent days have increased the water level of the Hoai River, causing local flooding of some streets in the ancient town of Hoi An, such as Bach Dang, Nguyen Thai Hoc, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Le Loi, Hoang Van Thu. Among them, Bach Dang street, which stretches along the Hoai River, was flooded to a depth of 0.5 to 1 m.
To ensure safety, local authorities have banned vehicle traffic. Many people are using boats to move around the flooded areas and buy food.
According to many people living in the ancient town of Hoi An, this is the largest flood of this year. In October, a heavy rain that lasted several days only caused deep flooding of Bach Dang street and was not as severe as it is today.
