According to Le Thanh Hai, deputy director of the Central Hydrometeorological Center, since the formation, the forecast of this storm's path has changed significantly. Two days ago, the meteorological agencies of the world all thought that the storm would turn to Hong Kong, then Leizhou Peninsula (China). The latest forecast is that the storm will hit Hainan Island.

If combined with Typhoon Nesat, Hanoi and the Northern provinces will catch heavy rain, which may cause a late flood. However, the rain also facilitates hydropower reservoirs to add water.

Regarding the weather situation in the coming days, Mr. Hai said, due to the influence of the typhoon Haitang, the North and the Central still have rains today. After that, the weather was temporarily stable for about two days before the combined effect of the northeast monsoon and storm Nesat.
