At noon on September 6, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting informed about the development of a tropical depression that is likely to strengthen into storm Tapah (storm number 7).

The possibility of storms and tropical depressions heading towards our mainland is not high.

Accordingly, this morning, a tropical depression with a strong intensity of level 7 (50-61km/h), gusting to level 9, is operating in the eastern sea area of the North East Sea.

Currently, the operating conditions of this tropical depression are quite favorable for development (increased wind level), with sea surface temperatures in the northern part of the East Sea at 29-30 degrees Celsius.

In the area of tropical depression activity, there is small wind shear combined with relatively strong southwest monsoon activity.

Therefore, the possibility of this tropical depression strengthening into a storm is up to 70-80% and it is forecasted that this tropical depression will strengthen into a storm this evening and tonight.

If it strengthens into a storm, it will be the 16th storm in the Northwest Pacific region and the 7th storm active in the East Sea, and according to the international name list it will be Tapah.

According to the meteorological agency, this tropical depression/storm is located in the western part of the subtropical high pressure tongue, and according to the path trend, the storm will move mainly in the northwest direction.

Therefore, the possibility of the storm heading towards our mainland is not high, but will make landfall in mainland China.

Currently, forecasts from international typhoon forecasting centers predict that this storm will make landfall in China's Guangdong province on September 8 (next Monday). When it makes landfall, the storm's intensity may reach level 10-11 (89-117km/h), gusting to level 13-14.

The North may have heavy rain from September 9 to 11.

Vietnam's forecast is quite similar to international forecasts. Vietnam believes that in the evening and night of September 6, this tropical depression will strengthen into a storm (storm number 7).

The strongest intensity when approaching the mainland coast of Guangdong province (China) will reach level 10 (89-102km/h), gust level 13 and the time of landfall in China will be around morning and noon on September 8.

"Although it makes landfall in China, after entering, storm No. 7 will quickly weaken into a low pressure area, then drift westward towards our country.

Therefore, it is likely that from the afternoon and night of September 9 to 11, the post-storm circulation No. 7 will cause widespread heavy rain in the North, focusing on the midland and mountainous areas of the Northeast" - the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting warned.
