The National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said the low pressure would head to the south-central coast. It also reported that it was highly likely that a new low-pressure area would be formed to the east of Philippines on October 13-14 and that would grow into a storm in the East Sea.
Since Wednesday morning, many areas from Ha Tinh to Phu Yen provinces have faced torrential rain. This phenomenon would continue in the central region after October 11.
Lots of areas in Thua Thien-Hue Province have been put deep under water. This is the first time the wooden bridge over the Huong River has been submerged and pedestrian roads around the river are in the same situation.
Many trees in Hue City have also uprooted because of violent gusts of wind.
Meanwhile, Quang Tri Province has prepared solutions to evacuate households in vulnerable areas. Some mountainous areas in the province have been isolated. Local authorities have called on 2,300 ships and boats to shelter to ensure safety.
Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Hoang Hiep warned that the central region may face historic flooding similar to that seen in 2017.
