Typhoon Molave in Vietnam

Typhoon Molave made landfall in central Quang Nam, Quang Ngai and Binh Dinh provinces with wind speeds of over 100 mph and heavy rainfall. Molave hit as a Category 2 Atlantic hurricane and is impacting areas of Vietnam already affected by severe flooding.

Vietmanese authorities are planning to evacuate over a million people and the military have been mobilised to provide search and rescue assistance.

Molave is the fourth storm system to make landfall in Vietnam in a month. The president of Vietnam's Red Cross reported recent events as the worst in decades. The damage brought by the storms has affected peoples livelihoods as many homes and crops have been destroyed, while the area is still suffering the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nghe An, Ha Tinh and Quang Binh provinces have been told to prepare for prolonged downpours over the coming days, where over 700mm of rain is predicted.
