On October 13, 2025, road traffic in many areas, especially Hanoi and the northern provinces, continued to be affected by prolonged heavy rain due to the strengthening of cold air circulation combined with the tropical convergence zone. Localized flooding, rush-hour traffic congestion, and a number of minor collisions made it difficult for people to travel.
According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, heavy rain is likely to last until mid-week, so authorities have promptly deployed plans to divert traffic, warn at flooded areas, and regulate traffic.
1. Hanoi traffic on the morning of October 13: Many routes are congested due to heavy rain
Since early morning, heavy rain has caused long-term congestion on inner-city routes such as Truong Chinh, Nguyen Xien, Pham Van Dong, Cau Giay, etc., especially between 7am and 9am. Some low-lying sections such as To Huu, Le Van Luong, and Thanh Xuan underpass areas have stagnant water, causing many vehicles to move slowly or stall.
Traffic police and traffic inspectors have been deployed at major intersections such as Nga Tu So, Cau Giay, Nguyen Trai - Khuat Duy Tien to regulate, divert traffic, and guide vehicles to avoid flooded areas.

3. Traffic accidents: Some minor collisions in the rain
In the morning and afternoon of October 13, Hanoi Traffic Police recorded many minor collisions on major roads such as Pham Van Dong, Lang - Hoa Lac, Vo Chi Cong, mainly due to slippery roads and limited visibility.
No serious accidents were recorded, however, many vehicles had to stop for processing, causing local congestion.

In addition to Hanoi, national highways QL3, QL6, QL2 and Noi Bai - Lao Cai expressway were also affected by heavy rain. In Phu Tho, Vinh Phuc and Thai Nguyen, there were some minor landslides and local flooding, causing trucks to move slowly.
