The water level on the Cai River is expected to keep rising over the next 12 hours, peaking on Sunday night. In the following 12 to 24 hours, the floodwaters on the Cai River in Nha Trang are forecasted to gradually recede.
Residents have been urged to remain vigilant against the risk of flash floods and landslides, particularly in mountainous areas, and the potential impact of heavy rain and flooding on reservoir safety.
