Meteorological experts also warned that coastal areas from Thanh Hoa to Quang Ninh need to be on guard against storm surges of 0.5m (Thanh Hoa) to 2m (Quang Ninh) in the afternoon and night of September 7.

Boat mooring areas, aquaculture areas, dykes and seawalls in the above-mentioned dangerous areas are all likely to be affected by strong winds, large waves and storm surges/ebb.

Low-lying coastal and estuary areas should be on guard against flooding due to rising water and large waves.

From the afternoon of September 7 to the morning of September 9, the Northern region and Thanh Hoa experienced widespread heavy rain with total rainfall ranging from 100-300mm, with some places over 450mm (the heaviest rain in the Northeast concentrated in the afternoon and night of September 7; the Northwest from the evening of September 7 to the night of September 8).

Heavy rains can cause flooding in low-lying areas; flash floods in small rivers and streams, and landslides on steep slopes.

Due to the influence of the wide storm circulation, in the Northwest region, the area from Nghe An to Thua Thien-Hue needs to be on guard against the risk of thunderstorms, tornadoes, and strong gusts of wind.
