Ho Chi Minh City rush hour flooded as tide peaks above alert level

Original: Ho Chi Minh City's evening rush hour went under water on Tuesday: the tide peaked at 1.75 m at Nha Be, above alert level

Ho Chi Minh City's evening rush hour was disrupted on Tuesday when high tide peaked at 1.75 metres at Nha Be, exceeding the highest alert level. Motorbikes stalled at flooded junctions in the former District 7, and water reached halfway up car wheels along nearly two kilometres of Bui Van Ba Street, stranding commuters.

Why now: Severe tidal flooding disrupting peak-hour traffic in Vietnam's largest city is striking and raises concerns about rising sea levels and drainage capacity.
