A tropical storm, locally known as Storm No. 4, is expected to make landfall in central Vietnam late Thursday, bringing with it torrential rains and potentially severe flooding. Wind gusts are anticipated to reach up to 102 kph (63 mph), affecting areas from Quang Tri to Quang Nam provinces, with Dong Hoi airport temporarily closing due to the storm. Heavy rainfall of 100 to 300 millimeters (4 to 12 inches) is forecasted, impacting not only central Vietnam but also the Central Highlands, a major coffee-growing region. This storm follows the recent devastation from Typhoon Yagi, which resulted in over 290 casualties and approximately $1.6 billion in damages. Meteorological agencies are also monitoring a tropical depression in the East Sea that may intensify into a typhoon as it approaches Vietnam. Residents are advised to stay updated on weather developments and take necessary precautions against potential flooding and severe weather conditions.
