Also during the day and night of October 28, the Central Highlands, the South and the eastern provinces from Gia Lai to Lam Dong will have rain, moderate rain and thunderstorms, with common rainfall of 20-40mm, in some places over 100mm.

It is forecasted that by October 30, the area from Ha Tinh to Da Nang and the East of Quang Ngai will continue to experience moderate rain, heavy rain and thunderstorms, with average rainfall of 30-70mm, and in some places over 100mm.

Explaining the cause of this widespread rain and flood, Mr. Mai Van Khiem, Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said that the main cause is the combination of low-level cold air, the tropical convergence zone lifting the axis from the South, along with the humid East wind field operating strongly at an altitude of 1,500-5,000m. This is a typical weather combination causing prolonged heavy rain in the Central region.
