The rain crossed the country while the coverage stayed north. The north is sunny and dry, Hanoi about 34 °C, last week's flood draining. The centre and south take heavy to very heavy rain — Nghe An to Da Nang, the south-central coast, the Central Highlands including Lam Dong, and the south — at 20 to 40 mm with locally over 100 mm, with flood, flash-flood and landslide risk. Under-covered in English as it moves. (Handled with care.)
