According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting on the night of November 1, the tropical depression in the eastern Philippines has strengthened into storm Kalmaegi.

Current forecasts show the storm moving westward towards the Philippines in the coming days.

Around November 5 (Wednesday), the storm may enter the East Sea and become the 13th storm this year.

Typhoon Kalmaegi is forecast to be a strong storm in the East Sea, strongest in the Truong Sa special administrative region (possibly over level 12).

Around November 7, the storm is likely to move (make landfall) in our country, the focus area that needs to be noted that is likely to be directly impacted is from Da Nang to Khanh Hoa.

The storm may cause strong winds and heavy rain in the provinces of the Central Central, South Central and Central Highlands regions from the night of November 6 to 9.

The meteorological agency noted that the storm is currently affected by many large-scale factors in the coming days as well as the impact of terrain when making landfall in the Philippines.

Therefore, scenarios on the intensity, direction of movement as well as areas directly affected by storm No. 13 still need to be monitored and updated with new observation and forecast data.

Before welcoming storm No. 13, from today until November 4, the area from Ha Tinh to Da Nang and the east of Quang Ngai province will have heavy rain due to the strengthening of cold air combined with the tropical convergence zone with an axis passing through the South Central region (connecting with the low pressure area in the southern East Sea) and the east wind zone in the atmospheric layers from 1,500 - 5,000m continuing to operate strongly.

Total rainfall forecast in Hue , Da Nang and eastern Quang Ngai province is generally 300 - 600mm, locally over 800mm.

In Ha Tinh and Quang Tri areas, it is common to have 200 - 350mm, locally over 500mm.

Southern Nghe An province and western Quang Ngai province have moderate to heavy rain with common rainfall of 70 - 150mm, locally very heavy rain over 250mm.

Floods in the Central Rivers Rise Again

Due to the impact of heavy rain, from November 2 to 5, floods will appear on rivers from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai and Dak Lak. The flood peaks on the rivers are likely to be as follows:

- Ha Tinh : Ngan Sau and Ngan Pho rivers reached alert level 2 - 3.
