On land, from the night of October 22-26, due to the influence of storm circulation combined with cold air and high-altitude easterly winds, the area from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai will have heavy to very heavy rain. Rainfall is generally 200-400 mm, locally over 500 mm; in particular, the area from South Quang Tri to Da Nang will have exceptionally heavy rain of 500-700 mm, over 900 mm in some places. Heavy rain will last until the end of October, causing a high risk of flash floods and landslides in mountainous areas, and flooding in low-lying areas and coastal cities.

Currently, cold air has weakly affected the North Central region and some places in the Northwest. At Bach Long Vy station, strong Northeast wind level 6, sometimes level 7, gusting to level 8; at Con Co station, wind level 6. It is forecasted that during the day and night of October 21, cold air will continue to spread to the Central Central region, making the weather in the North and Thanh Hoa cold at night and morning, and cold in the mountains.
