Mr. Khiem commented that Tra Mi storm is different from normal storms, so when it makes landfall, it will return to the East Sea. Therefore, on land, there will be strong winds and prolonged heavy rain.
Regarding rainfall, it is forecasted that from the morning of October 27 to the end of October 29, from Quang Binh to Quang Nam, there will be 200-400mm of rain, with some places having over 600mm.
