Tropical depression enters mainland bringing warnings of rain and flood
VTV.vn - The tropical depression entered the provinces of Quang Tri and Quang Nam at around 1 o'clock today (September 3rd), carrying wind levels of 6 to 9.

In addition, the tropical low-pressure system is expected to cause heavy and prolonged rains in the central region.

Rain will continue in Nghe An and Quang Ngai provinces and the Central Highlands on September 3rd. Areas from Ha Tinh to Da Nang are experiencing heavy rainfall of 100-250mm, with some places reaching over 300mm. This heavy rainfall is forecast to last until September 6th from Nghe An to Quang Ngai, with 300-500 mm/ each.

From Quang Tri to Thua Thien Hue, rainfall may reach up to 500-700mm.

Prolonged heavy rain heightens the risk of landslides and flash floods in the Central region. At the same time, water levels are also expected to rise in rivers, especially in the areas of Ha Tinh-Quang Tri.
