From the night of November 6, heavy rain from Quang Tri to Dak Lak

Mr. Mai Van Khiem - Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that around the morning of November 5, storm Kalmaegi will enter the East Sea and become storm number 13 in 2025. The current monitoring and forecasting data still have a certain degree of uncertainty in terms of trajectory and intensity.

"However, the latest forecast results show that the storm will move quickly and be very strong. The storm may reach a level 13-14 intensity in the Truong Sa special zone and the Da Nang - Khanh Hoa sea area," said Mr. Khiem.

According to Mr. Khiem, from the night of November 6, the storm is likely to directly affect the area from Da Nang to Khanh Hoa . The strongest wind in coastal waters (including Ly Son special zone) is likely to reach level 12 - 13, gusting over level 15. Inland coastal areas are likely to reach level 10 - 12, gusting to level 14 - 15.

"This is a strong storm, thunderstorms and tornadoes may occur before the storm makes landfall. Heavy rain will occur over a wide area from the night of November 6 to November 9 in the area from Quang Tri to Dak Lak. There is a risk of new flooding on rivers from Quang Tri to Khanh Hoa provinces," said Mr. Khiem.

The representative of the meteorological agency emphasized that the current monitoring and forecast data still has a certain degree of uncertainty in terms of trajectory, intensity, direction of movement, rain center area and rainfall amount that is likely to fluctuate in the coming days, so it is necessary to continue to closely monitor forecast and warning bulletins.

Risk of flash floods and landslides in mountainous areas from Ha Tinh to Gia Lai

In addition to the storm about to enter the East Sea, currently, floods on rivers in the Central region are at high levels, with widespread flooding occurring in many localities.

Regarding heavy rain, due to the influence of continuously strengthened cold air, combined with many factors (tropical convergence zone, low pressure area in the South China Sea, high-altitude easterly wind disturbance), from the afternoon of November 3 to the end of November 4, the area from Ha Tinh province to Hue city is forecast to continue to have heavy to very heavy rain with common rainfall of 150 - 250 mm, locally over 400 mm. From the afternoon of November 4 to November 6, rain in the above area is likely to decrease.

Regarding the hydrological situation , from today, November 3 to the end of November 4, floods on Bo River, Huong River (Hue City), Vu Gia-Thu Bon River (Da Nang City) will fluctuate at a high level, then gradually decrease and fluctuate at alert level 2 and above alert level 2; on Kien Giang River (Quang Tri Province) will fluctuate above alert level 3. On Thach Han River (Quang Tri Province), the possibility of flooding is at alert level 2 - alert level 3.

In late October 2025 and early November 2025, the Central region experienced very heavy rain and floods, and the soil was saturated.

"Combined with the heavy rain forecast in the coming days, there will be a very high risk of flash floods and landslides in mountainous areas from Ha Tinh to Gia Lai, focusing on the provinces/cities of Ha Tinh, Quang Tri, Hue, Da Nang, Quang Ngai and Gia Lai," Mr. Khiem warned.

In addition to the forecast bulletins and natural disaster warnings issued periodically according to regulations, to monitor real-time forecast information and warnings of thunderstorms, tornadoes, lightning, flash floods, and landslides, people and authorities can access the warning systems of the Department of Hydrometeorology at: http://iweather.gov.vn/ and http://luquetsatlo.nchmf.gov.vn/ to update information.
