At 10:00 AM on September 25th, the center of the tropical depression was located at approximately 15.3 degrees North latitude and 110.4 degrees East longitude, about 250 km east-southeast of Da Nang and about 180 km east of Quang Ngai. From September 25th to 27th, the South Central region, the Central Highlands, and the Southern region will experience moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms, with localized very heavy rain. Rainfall amounts will generally range from 100-150 mm, with some areas exceeding 200 mm.

Given the unpredictable developments of the tropical depression, on September 24th, the Provincial Steering Committee for Disaster Prevention and Search and Rescue requested several relevant departments and agencies in localities throughout the province to proactively respond to heavy rain, the risk of flooding, flash floods, and landslides in the coming days.
