After moving deep into the mainland of Guangdong province (China), storm No. 7 has decreased in intensity to about level 8. However, the storm's circulation and far edges have affected Quang Ninh, Lang Son, and Cao Bang with thunderstorms, while increasing the risk of flash floods and landslides in many northern mountainous provinces.
According to the reporter's records, in the early morning, there was heavy and very heavy rain in the Lang Son area. At around 6am, although the rain had stopped, the weather was still cloudy, with a high risk of rain.
According to the forecast, from the afternoon of September 10, the rain will spread to many localities as the storm's circulation continues to weaken and move inland in the West Northwest direction. The rain is expected to last until the night of September 11, focusing heavily on the mountainous and midland areas of the North, with rainfall in some places exceeding 300mm.
Prolonged heavy rain poses a potential risk of landslides on steep slopes, hills and flooding in low-lying areas and urban areas.
On the morning of September 9, the Lang Son Provincial Hydrometeorological Station informed that the influence of the northern edge of the tropical convergence zone caused showers and thunderstorms in the area, with heavy rain in some places.
On the same day, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting issued consecutive warning bulletins.
According to the meteorological agency, the risk level of natural disasters due to flash floods and landslides in this period is determined at level 1, but can still cause very negative impacts: threatening life, destroying civil works, causing traffic jams and great damage to production and the socio-economy.
The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting recommends that localities urgently review vulnerable locations and high-risk areas, and prepare evacuation plans for people when necessary.
