From September 24th, the eastern sea area of the northern Gulf of Tonkin (including the Bach Long Vy special zone) will experience increasingly strong winds, reaching levels 6-7, with gusts up to level 9.

From the night of September 24th, the sea area off Nghe An province (including Hon Ngu island) will experience increasingly strong winds, reaching levels 6-7, with gusts up to levels 8-9; sea waves will be 1.5-3.0m high, and the sea will be rough.

Heavy rain:

From September 25th to September 27th, Nghe An experienced moderate to heavy rain, with some areas experiencing very heavy rain and thunderstorms. The rainfall amount was generally 70-150mm, with some localized areas receiving over 250mm.

Be prepared for heavy rainfall causing urban flooding. Heavy rain is likely to cause flooding in low-lying areas; flash floods on small rivers and streams; and landslides on slopes.

Thunderstorms, tornadoes

Due to the influence of the wide storm circulation, there is a risk of thunderstorms, tornadoes, and strong gusts of wind both before and during the storm's landfall.
