A 14th tropical storm is forecast to make landfall in Vietnam today, reaching Thailand's far northeast on Sunday morning and other northern regions by afternoon.
The storm will unleash heavy to very heavy rain across numerous northeastern provinces on Sunday morning, with heavy rain extending to more northern provinces in the afternoon.
Additional northern areas, including Chiang Mai and Lampang, are expected to experience heavy rainfall on Monday before the storm weakens upon entering Myanmar.
This impending storm follows last week's Typhoon Kajiki remnants, which caused fatal mudslides and significant flood damage in northern provinces.
