From July 20 to 29, Typhoon No. 3 (Wipha) is forecast to bring heavy to extremely heavy rainfall to northern Vietnam and north-central provinces, especially from Thanh Hoa to Ha Tinh. The central region will see a gradual decline in heat, while the southern region is expected to experience afternoon and evening rain.

Typhoon Wipha is closing in on northern Vietnam, with its erratic path prompting urgent preparations in Quang Ninh province.

Typhoon Wipha made landfall along the coast of Taishan in South China's Guangdong Province on Sunday evening, prompting emergency responses including the suspension of production and business, and class cancellations across multiple regions affected.

The powerful storm is expected to land in Quang Ninh - Thanh Hoa on July 21, bringing damaging winds and torrential rain.

A tourist boat capsized during a typhoon in Vietnam's Hạ Long Bay on Saturday, July 19, resulting in 34 bodies being found.

The death toll from a tourist boat accident in Vietnam's Halong Bay climbed to at least 38 with several people still missing, the government said, as rescuers continued to search for survivors while bracing for the approach of Typhoon Wipha.

Storm Wipha has entered the South China Sea and is gaining strength as it heads toward Vietnam’s northern coast, with landfall expected early next week.
