The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting (NCHMF; ) is the central and national-level meteorological and weather forecasting service of Vietnam. It belongs to (VNMHA) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment with authority to issue forecasting and warning information for weather, climate, hydrology, water resource, marine weather (i.e. hydro-meteorology) and provide hydro-meteorology services.
The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting was founded on 9 January 2003. At the time of establishment, its Vietnamese name was Trung tâm Dá»± báo Khàtðợng Thủy vÃÂn Trung ðáng (). However, the NCHMF previously stated that it was founded on 16 May 1995 from the Cục dá»± báo KTTV (), as Trung tâm Quá»Âc gia Dá»± báo khàtðợng thuá»· vÃÂn ().
In November 2016, it was determined that the NCHMF's Vietnamese name would be changed to Trung tâm Dá»± báo khàtðợng thủy vÃÂn quá»Âc gia.
It was re-established again on 8 April 2025 as a part of the new Vietnam Meteorological and Hydrological Administration (Cục Khàtðợng Thủy vÃÂn), after the foundation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment. It happened just months before Typhoon Yagi made historical impacts on Vietnam, an event that the reorganized NCHMF had to serve as the leading agency coordinating Vietnamese preparation against the storm.
