The storm will move towards the Vietnamese mainland, focusing on the area from Da Nang City to Dak Lak Province.

At the meeting, representatives of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that around the afternoon of November 6, the storm will move into the central sea area and from the night of November 6, the storm is likely to directly affect the area from Da Nang to Khanh Hoa, causing strong winds (coastal areas may have strong storm winds of level 10-12, gusts of level 15, deep inland there may be strong storm winds of level 7-9, gusts of level 13-14) and heavy rain from the night of November 6 to 9, with heavy rain concentrated in the provinces from Quang Tri to Dak Lak.

Mr. Mai Van Khiem warned: This is a very strong storm, with a wide storm circulation and strong winds that directly affect coastal provinces and cities from southern Quang Tri province to Dak Lak province (the path and impact are similar to storm No. 12 - Damrey in 2017 and storm No. 9 - Molave in 2020).
