Bac Ninh sits in or near Vietnam’s Red River Delta, where a monsoon climate brings a hot, wet season from May to October and a cooler, drier winter. Most of the year’s rain falls between June and September, driven partly by the southwest monsoon and partly by typhoons that track in from the South China Sea.
One of the most densely populated provinces in Vietnam, the city’s extensive canal network needs to clear stormwater quickly to avoid urban flooding. Vietnam’s National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting monitors the region closely during typhoon season, and live radar is a useful complement to official storm-track forecasts for watching individual rain bands move through Bac Ninh.
