The northern provinces are facing the arrival of storm No. 3 (Wipha), which has a forecast path quite similar to that of storm Yagi (2024), directly affecting coastal areas from Quang Ninh Province to Thanh Hoa Province, causing strong winds and heavy rains in the northern and north central provinces.

On July 21, the General Staff of the Viet Nam People's Army sent a telegram to agencies and units to focus on responding to storm No. 3 (Wipha).

On July 19, the Prime Minister issued Telegram No. 112/CD-TTg, directing ministries, sectors, and localities to focus efforts on responding to Storm No. 3 (Typhoon Wipha), which has entered the East Sea (South China Sea), bringing heavy rainfall and posing risks of flash floods, landslides, and inundation.
