The Meteorological Department warns of rains and strong winds in Thailand due to Tropical Storm Trami which is expected to land in central Vietnam on Sunday.
Sukanyanee Yawinchan, acting director-general of the department, said early Sunday morning that the tropical storm was about 130 kilometres northeast of Da Nang at 4am on Sunday and would land in central Vietnam on the same day.
