According to Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam, the forecast for strong winds in some localities such as Hai Phong and Quang Ninh will last until about 7 pm on September 7, then decrease rapidly; Thai Binh and Nam Dinh will have the strongest winds from about 4 pm to 10 pm; the Northern Delta (including the capital Hanoi) will have the strongest winds from about 7 pm on September 7 to 1 am on September 8.
Coastal areas of Quang Ninh, Hai Phong ... rain will continue until the night of September 7 and around 4am on September 8, rain and wind will decrease, so the morning of September 8 is safe.
For the Hanoi area, the wind will start to calm down from 1am on September 8, but the rain may last until 8-9am on September 8. At noon on September 8, the Hanoi area is relatively safe. For the midland and mountainous areas such as Tuyen Quang, Phu Tho, Hoa Binh ... the rain will be later and cause a high risk of flash floods and landslides.
"Coastal areas, when the storm hits, boat mooring areas, aquaculture areas, dykes, and seawalls in the above-mentioned dangerous areas are all likely to be affected by strong winds, big waves, and rising water. Low-lying coastal areas and river mouths should be on guard against the risk of flooding due to rising water and big waves. Boat mooring areas are likely to collide, causing the boats to sink. This rain will end quickly in the Northeast (Hanoi). However, it is likely to last in the western region. The mountainous and midland areas will have heavy rain, and the rain will last until September 9-10,” Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam shared.
