Perspective

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting was founded on 9 January 2003. At the time of establishment, its Vietnamese name was Trung tâm Dự báo Khí tượng Thủy văn Trung ương (lit.'Center for Central-level Forecasting of Meteorology and Hydrology').[3] However, the NCHMF previously stated that it was founded on 16 May 1995 from the Cục dự báo KTTV (lit.'Meteo-Hydrorological Forecasting Bureau'), as Trung tâm Quốc gia Dự báo khí tượng thuỷ văn (lit.'Center for National Meteorology and Hydrology Forecasting').[4]

In November 2016, it was determined that the NCHMF's Vietnamese name would be changed to Trung tâm Dự báo khí tượng thủy văn quốc gia.[5]

It was re-established again on 8 April 2025 as a part of the new Vietnam Meteorological and Hydrological Administration (Cục Khí tượng Thủy văn), after the foundation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment.[2]
