From October 21 to October 23, the sea area from the south of Quang Tri to Quang Ngai has wave height gradually increasing to 4-6m.

On the evening of October 21, 2025, Son Tra Border Guard Station organized the firing of emergency storm warning flares and sent visual warning signals from the mainland to notify vehicles and boats operating near the shore to be aware of dangerous weather conditions and proactively move to safe shelters to prevent storm No. 12.
