Hue sits on Vietnam’s north-central coast, a narrow strip of lowland squeezed between the Truong Son mountains and the South China Sea that takes some of the country’s heaviest typhoon and tropical-storm rainfall, concentrated mainly in September, October, and November.
The former imperial capital sits on the Huong (Perfume) River, whose gentle course through the old city can rise dramatically during the region’s autumn flood season. %s Because the coastal plain is so narrow, rain falling on the mountains just inland can reach rivers and low-lying towns within hours, making this one of the most flood-prone stretches of Vietnam and a place where radar-based nowcasting is especially valuable.
