The strongest wind near the center of the storm was level 10 (89-102km/h), gusting to level 12. The storm moved west-southwest at a speed of about 10km/h.

Due to the influence of the storm, the sea area west of the North East Sea (including Hoang Sa special zone) has strong winds of level 7-8; the area near the storm's eye has strong winds of level 9-10, gusting to level 12; waves 3-5m high, the area near the storm's eye has waves of 5-7m high, very rough seas.

All ships and boats operating in the above mentioned dangerous areas are susceptible to the impact of storms, whirlwinds, strong winds and large waves.

On land, due to the influence of storm circulation No. 12 combined with strong cold air, from this afternoon, provinces and cities from Quang Tri to Da Nang city will have winds gradually increasing to level 6, sometimes level 7, gusting to level 8-9.

From noon today to October 27, the area from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai will have widespread heavy rain (heavy rain concentrated from the afternoon of October 22 to the end of October 23).

Heavy rains in the Central region are likely to last until the end of October. 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 could reach and exceed alert level 3.
