Noul made landfall in Vietnam and peaked this past Friday, gradually losing force and eventually turning into a low-pressure zone with subsequent heavy rains and flooding.
Reports of massive floods have come from cities of central Vietnam, including Da Nang. The flooding has stretched upon neighbouring Laos, Cambodia and Thailand as well.
Noul is already the fifth tropical storm to form in the South China Sea and turn into a hurricane. Vietnamese meteorologists forecast between 11-13 such tropical storms to form throughout 2020, of which at least half is expected to impact the country.
