Specifically, from tomorrow evening until the 26th, Hanoi will experience moderate to heavy rain in some areas, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, hail, and strong gusts of wind; the total rainfall will generally be 50-100mm, with some areas exceeding 150mm.

The meteorological agency warns that during thunderstorms, there is a possibility of tornadoes, lightning, hail, and strong gusts of wind. Heavy and localized heavy rainfall may cause flash floods on small rivers and streams, landslides on slopes, and flooding in low-lying areas.

In the Northern region, from Thanh Hoa to Binh Dinh, following the heavy rains mentioned above, widespread heatwaves are likely to occur from around June 28-29.
