At around 1pm on June 23, heavy rain for nearly an hour, accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds, poured down on Da Lat City. Water from all directions rushed to Tran Quoc Toan Street, around Xuan Huong Lake, causing many places on this street to be flooded, some places about 40cm deep. Some trees on Tran Quoc Toan Street were also knocked down.

Similarly, the road section in the Dalat Golf Valley planning area, Tran Quoc Toan Street, the roundabout with Bui Thi Xuan Street, in front of the gate of the Dalat City Flower Garden Tourist Area was also partially flooded. Some cars in Ward 9 were also swept away and damaged.

The rain also flooded Yersin and Mac Dinh Chi streets, causing water to flow into people’s homes and damage their belongings. “The heavy rain and flooding quickly left us unable to react and all our goods were damaged,” said the grocery store owner.

The Da Lat City People's Committee has requested relevant agencies and specialized forces to handle fallen trees to ensure safety for road users. Authorities are currently assessing the damage caused by the heavy rain.

Da Lat city has steep terrain, many hills. In recent years, the speed of urban development has been very fast, affecting drainage. Every time there is heavy rain, many places in the city are flooded, affecting people's lives.
