On September 26, the province experienced moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms; rainfall measured from 0:00 to 9:00 on September 26 was generally 20 - 40mm, higher in some places such as: Thuy Phuc commune (Thai Thuy) 48mm, Quynh Coi town (Quynh Phu) 42mm.

The agricultural sector recommends that early-season rice areas should be harvested quickly and neatly.

According to the Thai Binh Hydrometeorological Center, due to the influence of the northern edge of the tropical convergence zone combined with the strengthening of the southwestern edge of the continental high pressure, from now until the end of September 28, it is forecasted that Thai Binh will continue to have moderate rain, heavy rain and thunderstorms. Rainfall in some places is commonly from 100 - 200mm.

Due to heavy rain and strong winds, about 580 hectares of winter-spring rice were broken and fell, scattered in the districts. The broken and fallen rice areas were in the stage of full maturity and milky ripeness. To ensure the value of winter-spring rice production and the progress and goals of winter-spring crop production, the agricultural sector recommends that localities take the initiative in draining surface water from the fields. For areas of green rice that have fallen slightly, the plants are usually able to recover. Areas of rice that have fallen and have entered the stage of full maturity need to be erected and tied in bundles according to the tilt of the rice plants. Absolutely do not erect them backwards, as this will break the rice roots. For areas of early-spring rice that have ripened, farmers should be encouraged to mobilize human resources and machinery to harvest quickly and neatly according to the motto "greener at home than ripe in the fields", fully preparing conditions for winter-spring crop production.
