Tropical Storm Kirogi has hit Vietnam bringing torrential rain.
The storm weakened before making landfall, meaning the sustained winds were only 55 kilometres per hour when it hit the coast.
However, the rain was still very heavy, with 182 millimetres of rain reported in Quy Nhon, and 142mm in the historic city of Hue.
This is a large amount of rain and it falls at what is always a wet time of year.Hue, for example, expects approximately 600mm of rain in November. This is comparable to the amount of rain that London expects in an entire year.
The excessive amount of rain has prompted the flood prevention department of Vietnam to issue a number of flood warnings.
It has also caused major problems for the salt farms in the southern province of Ninh Thuane.
“Our village lives on salt farming. Such rainstorm affects our production. I hope that the rainstorm would go away soon,” said Nguyen Thanh Trung, a local resident.
