Storm No. 12 is forecast to make landfall in the Da Nang - Quang Ngai area on October 23. The storm had weakened into a low pressure area by then.
Due to the influence of storm No. 12, the North East Sea area (including Hoang Sa special zone) has strong winds of level 7-8; the area near the storm's eye has strong winds of level 9-11, gusting to level 13. Waves 3.0-5.0m high, near the center of the storm 5.0-7.0m high, rough seas. All ships and boats in the danger zone are at risk of being affected by thunderstorms, whirlwinds, strong winds and large waves.
On land, due to the influence of storm circulation and cold air combined with East wind disturbances, terrain effects and East winds after the storm, from the night of October 22 to October 26, the area from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai is likely to have widespread heavy rain.
Total rainfall is generally in: Ha Tinh to Bac Quang Tri and Quang Ngai about 200-400 mm, locally over 500 mm; the South Quang Tri to Da Nang area is generally 500-700 mm, locally over 900 mm. Heavy rain in the Central region is likely to last until the end of October 2025.
There is a high risk of flash floods and landslides in mountainous areas, flooding in low-lying areas and urban areas. Localities need to pay attention to safe operation of hydroelectric and irrigation reservoirs before, during and after the storm, and prepare response plans for flood scenarios on rivers from Quang Tri to Quang Ngai that are likely to reach alert level 3 and exceed alert level 3. Forecast of natural disaster risk level due to floods: level 3.
