Storm No. 1 has special, unusual and extreme characteristics, rare in the history of hydrometeorology in the Central region.

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, storm WUTIP is the first storm in the East Sea to appear in June after more than 40 years, and is also the first storm to cause exceptionally heavy rain in the Central Central region in June since 1952, with rainfall far exceeding previous records.

Very heavy to extremely heavy rain occurred widely from South Ha Tinh to Quang Nam , total rainfall was commonly 250-550mm, many places over 800mm, especially Bach Ma station (Hue) reached 1203mm/3 days - the highest in history in June, surpassing the record of 410mm/1 day in Nam Dong in 1983.

Also according to the assessment of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, more unusually, there were 32 stations recording 6-hour rain exceeding 200mm, of which Loc Tri station (Thua Thien Hue ) recorded up to 319.4mm in 6 hours - an extreme level rarely seen in the June data series.

The storm circulation caused an early and unusual flood, concentrated from June 11-14 on rivers from South Quang Binh to Quang Nam, with flood peaks generally at alert levels 2-3, some rivers exceeding alert level 3: Thach Han (6.04m), Bo (4.50m) are both the highest flood peaks in June in the past 30 years. This natural disaster shows the seasonal shift and extreme level of weather and climate, which is unusual and no longer regular.

The flood from June 11-14 on rivers from South Quang Binh to Quang Nam was also assessed as historic and rarely seen in the same period in the observation data series. According to statistics, the flood peak on Kien Giang River at Kien Giang station, Thach Han River at Thach Han, Bo River at Phu Oc and Vu Gia River at Ai Nghia was the highest flood peak in the past 30 years. During this period of rain and flood, flooding and landslides occurred in many places in the provinces from Quang Binh to Quang Nam.

According to reports from the provinces/cities of Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Hue, Da Nang, Quang Nam, as of June 16, storm No. 1 and rain and floods have caused damage:

About people: 9 people died (Quang Binh 4, Quang Tri 3, Hue 2).

Regarding housing: 5 houses collapsed (Quang Nam); 94 houses were damaged or blown away.

Regarding agriculture: 59,988 hectares of rice and crops are still flooded (Nghe An 426 hectares, Quang Binh 13,436 hectares, Quang Tri 25,372 hectares, Hue 18,853 hectares, Da Nang 1,901 hectares).

Regarding aquaculture: 2,341 hectares of aquaculture were damaged due to flooding and washing away (Quang Binh 1,636 hectares, Quang Tri 623 hectares, Da Nang 33 hectares, Quang Nam 49 hectares); 324 cages were damaged (Quang Binh 265, Quang Tri 59).

Regarding ships: 8 ships sunk and damaged (Quang Binh 3, Da Nang 5).

Regarding forecasting, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting fully, promptly and reliably updates forecasts and warnings of strong winds at sea, big waves, rising sea levels combined with high tides and heavy rain.

The Center has provided timely forecast and warning information to the National Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control, the National Committee for Incident and Disaster Response and Search and Rescue, and the Steering Committees for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control and Search and Rescue of ministries, branches, and localities in the Central region provinces, news agencies, and newspapers to transmit as soon as possible to local people, contributing to minimizing human and property damage.

The center has issued 35 bulletins on storm No. 1, 17 flash bulletins; 15 bulletins on heavy rain and 13 rainfall forecast bulletins; 16 flash flood and landslide warning bulletins; 4 flood warning bulletins on rivers from Quang Binh to Quang Ngai, 3 flood warning bulletins and flood news on Huong River (Hue city). The bulletins warn of the risk of flash floods, landslides, inundation and the impact of floods.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting predicts that from now until the end of the year, the number of storms/tropical depressions in the East Sea and making landfall in our country is likely to be about 11-13, with about 5-6 making landfall (equivalent to the average of many years).
