Early rain floods Hanoi

A heavy rain poured down in Hanoi and inundated several streets in the capital.

A heavy rain poured down in Hanoi on the morning of May 7 and inundated several streets in the capital.

The Hanoi Sewerage and Drainage Limited Company said the storm deposited 38 millimetres of rain in just two hours.

The storm left Nguyen Duc Canh, Minh Khai and Linh Nam streets under 0.1-0.15 metres of water, with the routes already highlighting their potential for floods at the height of the coming monsoon season.

The situation forced a large number of passers-by to travel through water to work.
