Storm surge in coastal areas: Coastal areas from Quang Tri to Da Nang have storm surges from 0.3 - 0.5 m high.

All ships and boats operating in the above-mentioned dangerous areas are likely to be affected by storms, whirlwinds, strong winds, and large waves. Coastal areas from Quang Tri to Da Nang need to be on guard against large waves combined with high tides and wind-driven water surges that can cause flooding in low-lying areas and coastal erosion.

On land, due to the influence of storm circulation No. 12 combined with strong cold air, from the afternoon of October 22, on the mainland coastal provinces from Quang Tri to Da Nang, winds gradually increased to level 6, sometimes level 7, gusting to level 8 - 9.

Central region has widespread heavy rain, some places over 900 mm

Due to the influence of storm circulation and cold air combined with East wind disturbances and topographic effects, from noon on October 22 to October 27, the area from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai is likely to have widespread heavy rain (heavy rain concentrated from the afternoon of October 22 to the end of October 23).

Total rainfall in Ha Tinh to Northern Quang Tri and Quang Ngai is about 200 - 400 mm, locally over 500 mm; in the area of ​​Southern Quang Tri to Da Nang City, it is generally 500 - 700 mm, locally over 900 mm. Warning of heavy rain over 200 mm in 3 hours.

Heavy rains in the Central region are likely to last until the end of October 2025. There is a high risk of flash floods and landslides in mountainous areas, and flooding in low-lying and urban areas.

Localities need to pay attention to safely operating hydroelectric and irrigation reservoirs before, during and after the storm, and prepare response plans for flood scenarios on rivers from Quang Tri to Quang Ngai that may reach and exceed alert level 3. Forecast level of natural disaster risk due to floods and inundation: level 3.

The meteorological agency warned that it is necessary to be on guard against the risk of thunderstorms, tornadoes, and strong gusts of wind in the storm's circulation area, both before and during the storm's landfall.
