Typhoon "Kajiki" will affect Central and Northern Vietnam, Laos, and other regions

Affected by Typhoon Kajiki (No. 13) (Figure 1), heavy to torrential rain is expected from August 24 to 26 in central and northern Vietnam, Laos, northern Thailand, eastern Cambodia, central Myanmar, and other areas. Parts of central and northern Vietnam, central and northern Laos, northern Thailand, and central Myanmar will experience downpours, with extreme downpours in parts of Vietnam's Ha Tinh and Nghe An provinces. Accumulated precipitation in most of the aforementioned areas will range from 60 to 100 mm, with some areas receiving 120 to 200 mm, and isolated areas exceeding 300 mm (Figure 2). Coastal areas in central and northern Vietnam will experience strong winds of force 7 to 8 on the Beaufort scale, with gusts reaching force 9 to 11 (Figure 3).

Attention should be given to the adverse impacts of strong winds and heavy rain on power facilities, transportation, and other industries in the aforementioned regions. Additionally, there is a risk of secondary disasters such as flooding, landslides, mudslides, and urban waterlogging that may be triggered by the intense rainfall.
