With a long coastline facing the South China Sea, Vietnam is prone to typhoons that often cause deadly floods and mudslides. Wipha is the first major storm to hit the country in 2025.

Wipha made landfall in Vietnam on July 22, after battering Hong Kong and China and worsening monsoon rain and flooding in the Philippines.
