Inland areas including Hai Phong, Hung Yen, Bac Ninh, Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa have winds gradually increasing to level 6, gusting to level 7-8. Particularly, it is necessary to pay attention to very strong winds in Hanoi, occurring locally in small areas. In addition to storm winds and large-scale gusts, it is necessary to be vigilant for winds in thunderstorms.
Mr. Nguyen Van Hiep added that Hanoi has many high-rise buildings, so the wind when passing through here is much stronger than the wind measured at the stations. People and the community need to pay attention to avoid danger in stormy conditions.
Regarding the amount of rain during this storm, the Hanoi area will receive 100-200mm for the entire period (July 21-23), with some places receiving over 300mm. People should pay attention to the risk of flooding in low-lying areas due to intense rain in a short period of time.
Flooding in inner-city and low-lying areas is forecast to range from 0.2-0.5m, deeper in some places, and last about 30-60 minutes.
However, according to Mr. Nguyen Van Hiep, this is the time around the beginning and middle of the rainy and stormy season, the amount of humidity in the air is still very high, after the storm makes landfall there is still a risk of rain after the storm, so there is a high possibility of unusual rain.
Regarding floods on rivers, Mr. Nguyen Van Hiep added that currently, because the water level is not too high, during this storm, floods are mostly at alert level 1, some rivers are at alert level 2.
