Bac Lieu sits in the low, flat Mekong Delta, where the wet season from May to November combines heavy monsoon rainfall with the annual rise and fall of the Mekong River itself.
A low-lying coastal city in the delta’s south, Bac Lieu’s flood risk is shaped as much by tides and sea-level as by rainfall itself. Because so much of the delta sits barely above sea level, flooding here can come from direct rainfall, river discharge, and tidal influence from the coast all at once, which is why local flood tracking leans on both river gauges and rain radar together.
