Affected by the northern edge of a tropical convergence zone passing through central Vietnam, many areas in the north experienced rain last night and this morning. Thai Ninh (Hung Yen) recorded 151 mm of rainfall between 7 p.m. yesterday and 8 a.m. today.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting predicts 10-30 mm of rain in the northern delta this afternoon and tonight, with some areas potentially receiving over 60 mm. Starting Monday (September 1), influenced by upper-level wind convergence, the northern delta and coastal areas will experience rain in the evenings and early mornings.

Hanoi, the site of the 80th anniversary celebrations of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2, is forecast to have occasional rain tonight and tomorrow morning. Clouds will decrease by midday and afternoon, bringing sunshine.

Hanoi is expected to be cloudy on the night of September 1, with intermittent light rain possible between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. on September 2. The rain will stop after 5 a.m., and light sunshine will appear between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m.

The south-central coast, central highlands, and southern Vietnam, located on the southern edge of the tropical convergence zone, will experience scattered showers and thunderstorms, increasing towards the evening.

The central highlands and southern regions will be influenced by moderate southwest monsoons for the first two days, leading to evening rain, heavy in some areas. During thunderstorms, there is a risk of tornadoes, lightning, hail, and strong gusts of wind.
