Tropical depression rapidly approaching land, bringing thunderstorms across the country.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) – The tropical depression in the East Sea maintains strong winds of level 7, gusting to level 9, causing the weather at sea to deteriorate. In particular, thunderstorms are also occurring throughout the country.

According to the National Center for Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting, at 7 PM on September 18th, the center of the tropical depression was located at approximately 16.9 degrees North latitude and 111.5 degrees East longitude, over the Hoang Sa archipelago, about 360km east-northeast of Da Nang .

The strongest winds near the center of the tropical depression are at level 7 (50-61 km/h), with gusts up to level 9; it is moving mainly westward at a speed of about 20 km/h.

By 7:00 AM on September 19th, the tropical depression had intensified into a storm, located approximately 190km east of Quang Tri and about 100km northeast of Da Nang. The storm's center experienced strong winds of force 8 (62-74km/h), with gusts up to force 10; it was moving westward at a speed of approximately 20-25km per hour.

Due to the impact of the tropical depression (which later intensified into a storm), the western sea area of ​​the North East Sea (including the Hoang Sa archipelago), and the sea area from Nghe An to Quang Ngai (including Ly Son island district, Cu Lao Cham, Con Co, and Hon Ngu islands) will experience strong winds of force 6-7, waves 2-4m high, and near the storm's center winds of force 8 (62-74km/h), gusts up to force 10 (89-102km/h), waves 3-5m high, and rough seas.

Vessels operating in the aforementioned hazardous areas are susceptible to the effects of thunderstorms, tornadoes, strong winds, and high waves.

Typhoon Yagi, with winds reaching level 14 and gusts up to level 17, caused widespread damage, knocking down power poles and blocking National Highway 18 from Cam Pha City to Ha Long City (Quang Ninh province), hindering traffic (Photo: Huu Khoa).
