From this afternoon, many places will have heavy to very heavy rain, strong waves with waves 2-4m high. Due to the influence of the tropical depression, the sea area west of the area between the East Sea and the sea areas southwest of the North East Sea (including the sea area of the Hoang Sa archipelago) will have showers and strong thunderstorms, strong winds of level 6, then increasing to level 7, gusting to level 9, rough seas.
