Several sections of Nguyen Truong To Street experienced localised flooding. A drainage channel renovation project is currently under way in the area. With construction still incomplete, rainwater has accumulated on the road surface, prompting concerns that flooding could worsen if the rain persists.

The meteorological agency warned that thunderstorms could bring whirlwinds, lightning, hail and strong gusts. Heavy rain could cause flooding in low-lying areas and urban centres, flash floods along rivers and small streams, and landslides on steep slopes.
Strong winds, gusts and high waves at sea could also disrupt maritime activities. Residents have been advised to monitor weather developments and take precautions against hazardous conditions, particularly when travelling through flooded roads.

Nghe An's Department of Industry and Trade has recently issued a directive urging local authorities, supermarkets, shopping centres and businesses to stockpile and ensure supplies of essential goods in preparation for various forms of natural disasters over the next 10 days.
Commune and ward authorities have been asked to closely monitor forecasts and warnings of heavy rain, flooding, flash floods and landslides, and prepare appropriate response plans. They have also been instructed to ensure adequate supplies of materials, equipment and essential goods, while coordinating surveys of consumer demand and developing suitable plans for stockpiling and distributing goods.
