As per reports, heavy rainfall combined with high tides on Wednesday (08 October) led to widespread flooding across low‑lying roads, riverside zones, and canal areas in Ho Chi Minh City. Slow-moving traffic was reported during rush hour in Ho Chi Minh City.

• Floodwaters overflowed onto Tran Xuan Soan Street under the Tan Thuan bridge, submerging roads and making it difficult to distinguish between streets and canal water.
• Some stretches of Tran Xuan Soan, along the Te Canal, have been submerged for nearly two kilometers.
• The combination of rain and tidal surge led to severe inundation in multiple wards and disrupted traffic across the city.
