The central region and the Central Highlands province of Kon Tum experienced downpours of 150 mm, including over 200 mm in some areas, on Sunday, and many residential areas in Da Nang City and Quang Nam and Quang Ngai provinces were inundated.

The Central Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control said the storm had caused a ship and a barge to sink, two other ships to run aground, blown away the roofs of 31 houses, and damaged 1,070 hectares of rice in the central region.

The region should expect further rains of 200 mm by Tuesday due to the connection of an intertropical convergence zone and the tropical depression which used to be Conson, according to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.
