This phenomenon has been warned about by the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting due to recent hot weather in the capital and northern provinces. Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam, Deputy Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, stated that hot and humid weather is not a favorable condition for typhoons to enter or not enter the North. However, the transition from hot weather to rain, specifically the pre-typhoon rain on September 6th in the Northeast and Hanoi, will lead to a higher risk of thunderstorms, tornadoes, and lightning. At 1 PM this afternoon, Super Typhoon Yagi was located at approximately 19.8 degrees North latitude; 111.2 degrees East longitude, in the sea northeast of Hainan Island, about 450 km east-southeast of Quang Ninh . The super typhoon is at level 16 (184-201 km/h), with gusts exceeding level 17, moving in a west-northwest direction at a speed of 15-20 km/h.

People were surprised by the sudden change in weather to thunderstorms.
