The October 2017 Vietnam tropical depression, also known officially by its designation as Tropical Depression 23W, was a weak but deadly system that brought torrential rainfall and extreme flooding over northern and central Vietnam in October 2017. The depression formed on October 7, located to the northwest of Luzon, Philippines. The system moved in a general westward direction as it steadily intensified. Despite being forecast to strengthen into a tropical storm, 23W failed to reach this intensity, due to lack of organization as it made landfall in Hà Tĩnh Province on October 10.
Tropical Storm Ewiniar was a tropical cyclone in early June 2018 that brought prolonged heavy rains to Vietnam and South China, causing damaging floods and landslides. The fourth named storm of the 2018 Pacific typhoon season, Ewiniar developed as a tropical depression just east of Vietnam on June 2. The system moved generally northwards over the South China Sea, before intensifying into a tropical storm near the Qiongzhou Strait on June 5. Ewiniar proceeded to stall over the region as steering currents collapsed, making landfall over the Leizhou Peninsula and later over northern Hainan. Ewiniar accelerated to the northeast on June 7 and moved back over open sea, allowing it to strengthen slightly and reach peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 75 km/h (47 mph) and a central pressure of 998 hPa. The storm made landfall in eastern Guangdong shortly thereafter and weakened into a tropical depression on June 8. The system ultimately dissipated east of Taiwan on June 11.
In 2018, Vietnam faced a series of devastating floods. Starting in June, floods impacted northern regions, claiming 23 lives and causing significant damage to homes and agricultural lands. Tropical Storm Son-Tinh in July exacerbated the situation, resulting in further casualties and widespread destruction of crops and infrastructure. Subsequent floods in August and September continued the cycle of destruction, with landslides and overflowing rivers adding to the toll of lives lost and properties damaged. The year culminated in November and December with Tropical Storm Toraji and Typhoon Usagi, which brought more flooding and destruction to various parts of the country, including central provinces.

Vietnam is a southeast Asian country, and is the easternmost country of mainland Southeast Asia. It borders the South China Sea, hence, seeing the increased likeliness of tropical cyclones.

Typhoon Yagi, known in Vietnam as Typhoon No. 3 of 2024, originated from a tropical depression northwest of Palau, entered the South China Sea, and rapidly intensified into a super typhoon. By 7 September, Yagi made landfall in Vietnam's Haiphong City and Quảng Ninh Province, causing catastrophic damage to lives and property. The typhoon and post-typhoon severe weather brought strong winds and heavy rainfall to the entirety of northern Vietnam, triggering a series of adverse effects such as flash floods and landslides in mountainous areas. It also resulted in historic floods in northern Vietnam in early September 2024.
