    HANOI – On Tuesday, northern Vietnam was hit by Tropical Storm Wipha, which brought with it powerful winds and heavy rainfall affecting the northern and central areas of the country.

    The storm made landfall at 10 a.m., carrying maximum winds of 102 kilometers per hour (63 mph), as reported by local meteorologists. Once on land, it moved in a southwest direction.

    Initially classified as a typhoon while over the sea on Monday, Wipha diminished in strength overnight and was reclassified to a tropical storm before arriving on land.

    The storm knocked out power in parts of Hung Yen Province, east of Hanoi. Residents rushed to gas stations to buy fuel for generators, state media reported.

    The streets of capital city, Hanoi, were nearly empty as the storm moved inland. Most businesses were closed and the city government has advised residents to stay home and evacuate buildings that are unstable or in flood-prone areas.

    “If the storm is serious, people shouldn’t go out anyway because it would be dangerous on the road and there is also a chance of flooding,” said Minh Doan, a taxi driver in Hanoi.

    Flights were canceled across northern Vietnam, and airports in the port city of Hai Phong and Quang Ninh province were closed.

    Nearly 150,000 hectares (370,000 acres) of aquaculture farms and more than 20,000 floating fish cages are at risk from flooding and strong winds, according to state media.

    Vietnam has warned of flooding as heavy rain from Storm Wipha moves inland.

    In the Philippines, more than 80,000 people remain in emergency shelters after floods, landslides and tidal surges over the weekend.

    Most government offices and schools in the capital and 10 provinces were shut Tuesday due to widespread flooding from heavy monsoon rains, and troops evacuated residents from villages swamped by knee- to waist-deep water while the coast guard deployed buses and boats to assist stranded commuters. At least three people have died.

    Thailand’s meteorological department warned of thunderstorms and possible flash floods from Tuesday to Thursday, especially in the country’s north and northeast, while the south could experience tides as high as four meters. The department advised small boats to avoid sailing during the period.

    Global warming is making storms like Wipha stronger and wetter, said Benjamin P. Horton, dean of the School of Energy and Environment at City University of Hong Kong. Warmer oceans give tropical storms more fuel, leading to more intense winds, heavier rain and shifting rainfall patterns across East Asia. “Rising sea surface temperatures, fueled by climate change, can intensify these storms,” he said.
