The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting assessed that, with the current impact scenario, the impact circulation of storm No. 5 is very wide, affecting the coast of the North and North Central regions. The coastal area from Nghe An - Quang Tri will be the main area affected by the storm circulation, with the possibility of strong coastal winds of level 10 - level 11, gusting to level 13 - level 14.

From the night of August 24 to the end of August 27, the provinces from Thanh Hoa to Hue City experienced heavy to very heavy rain, with rainfall ranging from 150 - 300 mm, with some places over 600 mm.

During the heavy rains of storm No. 5, a flood occurred on rivers from Thanh Hoa to Quang Tri; there is a risk of flash floods, landslides and inundation in low-lying areas, riverside areas, and urban areas of the provinces in the above region.

Localities need to proactively deploy flood prevention and control plans, review residents in dangerous areas, and ensure the safety of reservoirs and flood prevention works./.
