The East Sea is about to welcome a tropical depression, which may cause rain on the occasion of National Day, September 2

According to initial assessments by experts, a tropical depression is likely to appear in the East Sea in the last days of August, heading inland and causing rain during the September 2 holiday.

Ms. Le Thi Xuan Lan, a hydrometeorological forecaster, said that currently (August 26), a low pressure area has appeared in the East of the Philippines. According to Japan's forecast model, this low pressure area may enter the East Sea in about 2 days.

"When entering the East Sea, the rather humid sea surface conditions provide energy for the low pressure area to develop into a tropical depression. It is also possible that when the low pressure enters near the Hoang Sa special zone, near the Gulf of Tonkin, it may strengthen.

What I worry about most is that according to the forecast, the tropical depression may strengthen, move inland to Vietnam, heading towards the Central region, possibly making landfall around August 31, later maybe until September 1," Ms. Lan commented.

The East Sea is likely to have a tropical depression.

Ms. Lan added that the tropical depression will cause rain, including in Hanoi . If the tropical depression weakens and makes landfall a day earlier or later, the rain will only be concentrated in the evening. If it makes landfall on September 1, there may be heavy rain on September 2, affecting activities during the parade to celebrate the 80th anniversary of National Day on September 2.

Ms. Lan noted that these are only initial assessments and forecasts may change. However, early information can help people, especially fishermen at sea, take precautions.
