The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said today, October 22, the weather in the North, Thanh Hoa and Nghe An will be sunny during the day, cold at night and in the morning, and cold in some mountainous areas.

From noon today, October 22 to October 27, from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai, there is a high possibility of widespread heavy rain (heavy rain concentrated from the afternoon of October 22 to the end of October 23).

Total rainfall in Ha Tinh to northern Quang Tri and Quang Ngai is about 200 - 400mm, in some places over 500mm. In the area south of Quang Tri to Da Nang city, it is generally 500 - 700mm, in some places over 900mm. Warning of heavy rain (>200mm/3 hours).

Heavy rains in the Central region are likely to last until the end of October. There is a high risk of flash floods and landslides in mountainous areas, and flooding in low-lying and urban areas.

Localities need to pay attention to the safe operation of hydroelectric and irrigation reservoirs before, during and after the storm, and prepare response plans for flood scenarios on rivers from Quang Tri to Quang Ngai that could reach and exceed alert level 3.

The South and other regions will have scattered showers and thunderstorms in the evening, with heavy rain in some places. Thunderstorms may include tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind.

Regarding storm number 12, the storm is moving west-southwest at a speed of 10-15km/h and is about 125km east-northeast of Da Nang City. Due to the influence of cold air, the storm gradually weakened to level 8, gusting to level 10.

Due to the storm's influence, the western sea area of the northern East Sea (including Hoang Sa special zone) has strong winds of level 7-8, the area near the storm's eye has strong winds of level 9-10, gusting to level 12. Waves are 3-5m high, the area near the storm's eye is 5-7m high, the sea is very rough.

The sea area from Quang Tri to Quang Ngai (including Con Co special zone, Cu Lao Cham island and Ly Son special zone) has strong winds of level 6. From the morning of October 22, it increased to level 7, the area near the storm center passed level 8, gusting to level 10, waves 3 - 5m high, rough seas.

Coastal areas from Quang Tri to Da Nang City have storm surges of 0.3 - 0.5m. All ships and boats operating in the above-mentioned dangerous areas are likely to be affected by storms, whirlwinds, strong winds and large waves.

Coastal areas from Quang Tri to Da Nang need to be on guard against big waves combined with high tides and rising water causing flooding in low-lying areas and coastal landslides.
