• According to a review of numerous publications and scientific reports, the effects of urbanization on urban climate are of greatest concern. This study aims to evaluate the impact of urbanization focusing on population growth on precipitation trends in 11 provinces across Vietnam during the period 2008–2018 by identifying the relationship between population growth and precipitation change. Regression analysis is used to determine the trends of precipitation and population growth. Precipitation maps and graphs show the overall precipitation trends, changes, and patterns in past decades. Overall, population growth tends to correlate with precipitation change trends. Furthermore, the type of region groups (countryside region, small city, or medium city) also plays a crucial role in determining the magnitude of the change in precipitation trends for each region. This further lends credibility to the notion that urbanization contributes to changes in precipitation trends.
