This article is entirely inaccurate in stating all of the impact to be from Linfa. It appears to be from a prolonged monsoon event punctuated by multiple tropical cyclones. ReliefWeb considers everything since September as a single, prolonged event. A report today from ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance states the event as a "combination of weather systems (Tropical Storms LINFA and NANGKA, and the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone combined with cold air)". TD Ofel later produced additional rainfall that exacerbated the event. Extreme rainfall reports of 1,500 to 2,000 mm are from the period of October 5-10, before Linfa made landfall. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 22:07, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

We have 2020 Central Vietnam floods, which mentions this, and the other storms. Considering Linfa was so short-lived (and its impacts limited largely to Vietnam), perhaps merge this with the flood article? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:51, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Didn't know that article existed. Yeah, just merge/redirect this and Nangka. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 22:54, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

I merged this, but I wouldn't start a merge discussion for Nangka. It had other impacts outside of Vietnam. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 00:12, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

From 10/10 to 10/13 (the storm Linfa affects and made landfall), the area of Thừa Thiên Huế was dumped by much rain. The official measured that the average amount of rainfall per day in Huế was 719mm/24 hours; it means it dumped 2100 mm of precipitation in 3 days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:204:d200:135c:28e0:19e0:52ac:31ef (talk • contribs)

The given source says the >2,000 mm measurements were from October 5 to 13 ("Từ 19h/05/10 đến 19h/13/10"), not solely during Linfa. It doesn't specify which day the 719mm/24hr was measured, it just compares it to the record from 1999 ("cường suất mưa lớn nhất tại Thừa Thiên Huế lên tới 719mm/ngày tại Thượng Nhật (TT.Huế); mưa lớn nhất năm 1999 là 1.384mm/24h."). ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 01:54, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Agree with Cyclonebiskit. Though deaths did occur outside of Vietnam, the deaths may not have been due to Nangka, and it is very hard to differentiate a TC death from a flood death. So why not turn this into a flood article - 2020 Central Vietnam floods. Since deaths in other countries were rather low compared to Vietnam, I suggest keep the Vietnam and merge Linfa. Nangka can stay. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 12:16, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

The storm's area of deaths was largely limited to just Vietnam. The floods are mostly from Linfa. So yes, merge it. CyclonicStormYutu (talk) 15:17, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Requested move 17 November 2020

Tropical Storm Linfa (2020) → Draft:Tropical Storm Linfa (2020) – The article is not quite ready to be published yet. Moving it to Draft namespace will allow editors to fix up the article before publishing. Qwerty325 (talk) 18:21, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
