The forecast for July 7 indicates that the storm will keep intensity as it enters the waters off Fujian Province (China) before gradually downgrading and dissipating over Zhejiang Province (China) by July 9.

Thus, no direct impact on Vietnam’s mainland is expected.

On July 6, the Chairperson of the Na Loi Communal People’s Committee, Nghe An Province reported that local authorities and specialized forces provided tireless efforts to help residents recover from the damage caused by recent floods. In recent days, prolonged heavy rains have triggered severe landslides. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
