In addition to the storm about to enter the East Sea, floods on rivers in the Central region are currently at a high level, with widespread flooding occurring in many localities.
Regarding heavy rain, due to the influence of the cold air being continuously strengthened, combined with many factors (tropical convergence zone, low pressure area in the South China Sea, high-altitude easterly wind disturbances), from the afternoon of November 3 to the end of November 4, the area from Ha Tinh province to Hue City is forecast to continue to have heavy to very heavy rain with common rainfall of 150 - 250 mm, locally over 400 mm. From the afternoon of November 4 to November 6, the rain in the above area is likely to decrease.
