Storm No. 5 has just dissipated, the East Sea is about to welcome a tropical depression

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, there is a low pressure area operating off the coast of the Philippines, which is forecast to enter the East Sea around August 27-28 and strengthen into a tropical depression.

At 1pm this afternoon (August 26), this low pressure area is over the eastern part of the Philippines. It is forecasted that in the next 24-36 hours (from 1pm on August 26), the low pressure area will move West-Northwest, traveling about 15-20km per hour, entering the eastern sea area of ​​the North East Sea and is likely to strengthen into a tropical depression.

Due to the influence of the low pressure circulation (which may later strengthen into a tropical depression around August 27-28), the northern and central East Sea (including the Hoang Sa special zone) will have increasingly strong winds and bad weather. Ships operating in the above areas should take precautions to ensure safety.

Because the low pressure area has not yet strengthened into a tropical depression and has not yet entered the East Sea, the development is still unpredictable. The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting reminds people to regularly update the latest forecast bulletins.
