The strongest wind near the storm center is level 11 (103 - 117 km/h), gusting to level 14; moving north at a speed of 10 - 15 km/h.

Commenting specifically on the development of storm No. 1, Associate Professor, Doctor, Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting Mai Van Khiem said that as of 4:00 a.m. on June 14, the storm was moving north-northeast over the Leizhou Peninsula (China) at a speed of about 10 - 15 km/h. The storm's strongest winds were level 11 - 12, gusting to level 14.

As of 4 p.m. on June 14, the storm was moving northeastward along the coastal areas of Guangxi and Guangdong (China) at a speed of about 10-15 km/h. The storm's strongest winds were level 11, gusting to level 13.

As of 4 p.m. on June 15, the storm was moving northeast over Guangdong (China) at a speed of about 15-20 km/h. The storm's strongest winds were level 6, gusting to level 8, and it gradually weakened into a tropical depression.

Mr. Mai Van Khiem noted that due to the impact of the storm, the sea area of Bac Bo Gulf (including Co To and Bach Long Vi island districts) has strong winds of level 7 - 9, the area near the storm's eye has winds of level 10 - 12, gusts of level 14, waves 2-4 m high, especially in the east 5 - 7 m, the sea is very rough.

Northwest of the northern East Sea and offshore waters from Quang Tri to Hue have strong winds of level 6 - 7, near the storm center level 9 - 11, gusts of level 14, waves 2 - 4 m high, near the storm center 3 - 5 m, rough seas.

Ships operating in the above mentioned dangerous areas are likely to be affected by storms, whirlwinds, strong winds and large waves.

Along with that, due to the influence of high tides and storm surges, the Hai Phong - Nghe An sea area is likely to experience high sea levels (Hon Dau 3.9 m, Hon Ngu 2.8 m), causing local flooding in some low-lying areas along the coast and river mouths.

On land, the coastal area of Quang Ninh - Hai Phong has strong winds of level 6 - 7, gusting to level 8 - 9; the coastal area of Thai Binh - Nam Dinh has strong winds of level 5, in some places level 6, gusting to level 7 - 8.
