Storm Matmo is likely to directly affect the North.
According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, it is likely that storm Matmo (storm No. 11) will directly affect the northern provinces around October 6.

The name Matmo was proposed by the US hurricane forecasting agency, and is part of the list of storm names managed by the Hurricane Committee of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The name of storm Matmo means "heavy rain". In fact, in 2019, the south central provinces suffered a lot of damage in a storm also internationally named storm Matmo, the 5th storm in 2019, affecting the coastal provinces of Quang Ngai, Binh Dinh, and Phu Yen .
The 2019 storm Matmo caused widespread heavy rain from Thua Thien - Hue to Ninh Thuan and the Central Highlands on October 30 - 31, with rainfall ranging from 300 - 400 mm/period. In particular, the provinces of Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, and Khanh Hoa had rainfall of 400 - 600 mm/period, causing flooding in many places./.
