On the morning of October 7, 2025, Hanoi continued to be affected by the circulation of storm No. 11 (Matmo) with prolonged heavy rain, many roads were deeply flooded, vehicles stalled, and traffic was paralyzed. Traffic police, drainage, and infrastructure management forces quickly took action to divert traffic, pump water, and clear obstacles to restore traffic.
Highlights
1. Some streets are deeply flooded, affecting traffic
According to Cong Ly & Xa Hoi, on the morning of October 7, many Hanoi streets were deeply flooded, and drainage workers were urgently mobilized to pump and divert traffic at "heavily flooded" points. 
Many roads such as Pham Van Dong, Thang Long Boulevard, Khuat Duy Tien - Nguyen Xien were flooded, forcing motorbikes to be pushed through deep water. 
2. 69 flooded points were updated this morning
Hanoi Drainage Company said that by the morning of October 7, the city recorded 69 flooded points across the area, with rainfall ranging from 100-200 mm in many areas. 
Routes such as Nguyen Xien, Thang Long Boulevard, Phan Van Truong, Khuat Duy Tien, My Dinh bus station, Mai Dich intersection... are on the list of flooded or at high risk. 
3. Vehicles stall, traffic paralyzed in the middle of a “sea of water”
24h reported “the city became a river, traffic paralyzed, motorbikes ‘snaked’ up the highway in the middle of a sea of water” — prolonged rain caused many roads to become streams of water, motorbikes stalled everywhere, and vehicles were congested. 
Many inner-city routes such as Tran Duy Hung – Pham Hung, Pham Van Dong – Mai Dich were severely affected. 
4. Hanoi Traffic Police stay at checkpoints, support people in heavy rain
The People’s Army reported that Hanoi Traffic Police stayed at checkpoints in heavily flooded areas, guiding, directing traffic, and supporting people to move safely while the heavy rain continued. 
In addition, infrastructure management and maintenance units coordinated to clear fallen trees and obstacles, and place warning signs at damaged areas. 
5. Weather & forecast for continued rain, flooding not yet receding quickly
According to Nhan Dan, by noon on October 7, Hanoi continued to have showers and thunderstorms, low-lying areas still held high water levels, drainage was slow. 
Policy Development commented: moderate to heavy rain, in the morning of October 7, some places had rainfall of more than 70 mm, many roads were prone to flooding.

Analysis & assessment
• Prolonged heavy rain under the storm circulation exposed weaknesses in the drainage system and urban management - many low-lying roads, underpasses, and access roads were prone to flooding, especially when the rain exceeded the drainage capacity.
• The presence of up to 69 flooding points shows that the impact is widespread, not only in the suburbs but deep in the inner city.
• The actions of traffic police staying at checkpoints, supporting people, combined with drainage forces are necessary and urgent to maintain smooth traffic in adverse weather conditions.
• Motorbikes stalling and traffic paralysis show that many people still use thin, light vehicles that are easily affected by flooded roads — people need to proactively choose routes or postpone travel if possible.

Conclusion & recommendations
On October 7, 2025, Hanoi continued to "struggle" with heavy rain and flooding due to the circulation of storm No. 11. Although functional units have made efforts to overcome the situation, many points are still "not clear".
Recommendations for traffic participants:
• If not necessary, limit going out in the morning and during rush hour.
• When traveling, choose higher routes, avoid low-lying roads, underpasses or areas with warned flooding points.
• Slow down, turn on your headlights, keep a safe distance, if your motorbike breaks down, move it to a safe place.
• Monitor rain and flood information from newspapers, traffic maps, and inner-city traffic channels to proactively plan your route.
• Authorities should continue to maintain a standby force, quickly update flood points, clear obstacles, and place warning signs - to ensure safety and limit damage.
