The leader of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that storm Matmo is unlikely to cause heavy, concentrated rains and widespread flooding like on September 30. However, localized flooding can still occur in low-lying areas with slow drainage.

The expert said that the Hanoi area was not affected by the storm, and there was no heavy rain in the city this morning. However, from noon to tonight, the storm's circulation is likely to cause heavy rain in the Hanoi area with common rainfall of 50-100mm, and locally over 150mm.

The hydrometeorological agency warns that due to the influence of storm circulation, it is necessary to guard against the risk of thunderstorms, tornadoes and strong gusts of wind.
