Regarding the heavy rain situation, due to the influence of continuously strengthened cold air, combined with many factors (tropical convergence zone, low pressure area in the South China Sea, high-altitude easterly wind disturbance), from the afternoon of November 3 to the end of November 4, the area from Ha Tinh province to Hue city will continue to have heavy to very heavy rain, with common rainfall of 150-250mm, locally over 400mm (from November 5 to November 6, rain in the above area is likely to decrease).

Regarding storm Kalmaegi, it is forecasted that around the morning of November 5, storm Kalmaegi will enter the East Sea and become storm number 13 in 2025.
