Central Vietnam hit by torrential rains till late October

The deluge stems from a combination of atmospheric factors, including a low-altitude cold air mass, a northward movement of the intertropical convergence zone and humid easterly winds at elevations between 1,500m and 5,000m, NCHMF Director Assoc. Prof Mai Van Khiem said, adding that this configuration is a classic driver of prolonged, high-intensity rainfall in the region.
