Forecast of tropical depression (in the next 12 hours):

Forecast time	Direction, speed	Location	Intensity	Danger zone	Disaster Risk Level (Affected Area)
13 hours October 23	Southwest, 10-15km/h	15.40N-108.00E, on the mainland of Da Nang City - Quang Ngai	Weakens into a low pressure area. < Level 6	15.00N-18.50N; West of longitude 110.50E	Level 3: Sea area from Quang Tri to Quang Ngai (including Con Co special zone, Cu Lao Cham island and Ly Son special zone).

Forecast impact of tropical depression:

At sea: Due to the combined influence of cold air, 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, gusts of level 8; waves 2-4m high, rough sea.

Rising water due to strong winds in coastal areas: Coastal areas from Quang Tri Province to Da Nang City have rising water due to strong winds from 0.3-0.6m high.

Warning: Coastal areas and river mouths from South Quang Tri to Da Nang City need to be on guard against large waves combined with high tides and rising water due to strong winds causing flooding in low-lying areas, waves overflowing coastal and riverside roads, and coastal erosion. All ships, boats, and aquaculture areas in the above-mentioned dangerous areas are likely to be affected by storms, whirlwinds, strong winds, large waves, and rising sea levels.

Due to the influence of the tropical low pressure circulation and cold air combined with East wind disturbances and terrain effects, from the night of October 22 to the night of October 24, in the area from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai, there will be heavy rain and thunderstorms with common rainfall of 100-200mm, locally with very heavy rain over 300mm; in the area from South Quang Tri to Da Nang City, there will be heavy to very heavy rain, with common rainfall of 200-400mm, locally with over 700mm.

Warning of risk of heavy rain (>150mm/3 hours) in coastal communes/wards from South Quang Tri to Da Nang City.

Heavy rains in the Central region are likely to last until the end of October 2025. There is a high risk of flash floods and landslides in mountainous areas, flooding in low-lying areas 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 South Quang Tri to Da Nang that may reach alert levels 2-3, with some places above alert level 3. Forecast level of natural disaster risk due to floods and inundations: Level 2-3.
