Storm Wipha threatens the region with intense rainfall exceeding 600mm and raises the risk of flash floods and landslides.

Typhoon Wipha is closing in on northern Vietnam, with its erratic path prompting urgent preparations in Quang Ninh province.

From July 20 to 29, Typhoon No. 3 (Wipha) is forecast to bring heavy to extremely heavy rainfall to northern Vietnam and north-central provinces, especially from Thanh Hoa to Ha Tinh. The central region will see a gradual decline in heat, while the southern region is expected to experience afternoon and evening rain.
