Due to heavy rains affected by the post-storm circulation, from the evening of September 7 to the morning of September 8, 2024, some localities in the West experienced localized heavy rains (in the Ben Chau - Dong Trieu area, the measured rainfall was 328mm), causing localized flooding in the Uong Bi and Dong Trieu areas.
