Earlier this month, heavy rains started pouring down in provinces of Oudomxay, Xayabuli, Sekong, Champasak, Savannakhet and Salavan. In some areas the rains caused landslides, while in others floodwaters submerged homes and damaged fields and cultivated areas. Some streets were rendered unpassable. Government reports that around 18,800 people have been affected in Oudomxay; a mountainous province in the northwest of the country and flooding in Salavan Province has inundated 75 of the 124 villages in the province.

The flood was so bad that 41 villages have lost contact with authorities and are completely out of reach.
