The cold air, combined with upper-level easterly disturbances, will bring heavy rain from Ha Tinh to Khanh Hoa provinces. Heavy rainfall may cause flooding in low-lying areas, flash floods in small rivers and streams, landslides in hilly areas, and rapid inundation in urban and industrial areas.
The deep freeze may significantly impact livestock, posing risks to cattle and poultry if not properly sheltered and warmed, and affect crop growth, especially in mountainous areas. Strong winds and high waves will threaten maritime activities, while flooding and localized landslides may disrupt transportation and infrastructure.
