It is forecasted that by 7:00 p.m. the same day, the tropical depression will enter the mountainous region of the North and continue to weaken into a low pressure area.

From noon and afternoon on October 6, provinces such as Quang Ninh, Cao Bang, Tuyen Quang, Thai Nguyen are likely to experience moderate to heavy rain. Particularly in Hanoi , although there was little rain and it was cool this morning, from this evening, the rain tends to increase, there may be heavy rain on the night of October 6 to the morning of October 7.

The highest forecast rainfall in Hanoi and some northeastern provinces could reach 300mm – a decrease of about 100mm compared to previous assessments.
