Ho Chi Minh City Hit by Heavy Rain and Lightning, Recording One of the Highest Lightning Strikes in Two Years

Ho Chi Minh City experienced record-breaking heavy rainfall at the end of September and beginning of October, with 3,810 lightning strikes recorded over two days. This marks one of the highest occurrences in the past two years, with a concentration in Binh Duong province and the city's outskirts. The unusual weather phenomenon is attributed to upper atmospheric disturbances, wind convergence, and a low-pressure trough.
