The storm's strongest wind was level 10, gusting to level 13. The dangerous areas were the west of the North East Sea (including the Hoang Sa area), the offshore waters from Quang Tri to Quang Ngai , and the waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. Disaster risk warning level 3.

At 10:00 a.m. on June 14, the storm moved north then changed direction to north-northeast, over the Leizhou area (China) at a speed of about 10-15 km/h. The storm's strongest wind is level 8, gusting to level 10. The dangerous area is the northwest of the North East Sea, the offshore waters from Quang Tri to Hue, and the waters of the Gulf of Tonkin.

By 10:00 a.m. on June 15, the storm was moving northeast over southern China at a speed of about 20-25 km/h. Winds were below level 6 and gradually weakened into a low pressure area.

Due to the impact of the storm, the western part of the North East Sea (including the waters of Hoang Sa archipelago), the offshore waters from Quang Tri to Quang Ngai have strong winds of level 6-8, near the eye of the storm level 9-10, gusts of level 13, waves 3-5m high, near the eye of the storm 4-6m, very rough seas.
