Storm No. 4 Co May moves 'abnormally', still lingering over the East Sea

At 7:00 p.m. on July 24 , the center of the storm was located at approximately 16.2 degrees north latitude; 119.2 degrees east longitude, in the eastern sea of the North East Sea. The strongest wind near the center of the storm was level 10 (89-102 km/h), gusting to level 12; moving in an East Southeast direction at a speed of approximately 10 km/h.
Storm forecast ( in the next 24 to 36 hours):

Forecast time	Direction, speed	Location	Intensity	Danger zone	Disaster Risk Level (Affected Area)
07h/25/7	Mainly in the East Northeast direction about 10 km/h	16.8N-120.4E; on the eastern sea of the North East Sea	level 9, jerk level 11	15.0N-18.5N; East of longitude 117.0E	Level 3: Eastern sea area of the North East Sea
19h/25/7	Northeast, about 25 km/h and weakening	19.0N-122.0E; in the sea north of Luzon Island (Philippines)	level 6-7, jerk level 9	15.0N-19.0N; East of longitude 118.0E	Level 3: Eastern sea area of the North East Sea
07h/26/7	Northeast, 25-30 km/h, weakening into a low pressure area	22.3N-124.3E

In the next 12 hours, the storm will change direction, mainly to the East-Northeast at about 10km/h. By 7am tomorrow morning (July 25), the storm will still be in the eastern sea of the North East Sea with winds reduced to level 9, gusting to level 11; it is likely to move to the East Sea in the following hours.

In the next 12 hours, the storm will change direction again, moving northeast, accelerating at about 25km/h and gradually weakening. By 7pm tomorrow night (July 25), the center of the tropical depression will be located in the sea north of Luzon Island (Philippines) at level 6-7, gusting to level 9; then gradually weakening into a low pressure area.

Thus, since the tropical depression entered the East Sea and formed storm No. 4 with the international name Comay (Co May), given by Vietnam, the storm only entered the area of 116.5 degrees East longitude and then returned, without affecting the coast and mainland of our country.

However, due to the influence of the tropical convergence zone passing through the North connecting with storm No. 4 (Co May), the North, Thanh Hoa and Nghe An experienced heavy rain on July 24-25. In addition, the circulation of storm No. 3 just before that caused historic flooding in Nghe An . Up to now, many people in mountainous areas and some communes are still isolated, traffic is paralyzed...

In addition, Typhoon Co May caused strong winds and large waves in the eastern sea of the North East Sea, with winds of level 7-8, near the storm center at level 9-10, gusting to level 12; waves 4-6m high. The sea was very rough.

Ships operating in the above mentioned dangerous areas are susceptible to the effects of storms, whirlwinds, strong winds and large waves.

In addition, in the Northwest Pacific region, there are storms Francisco at the 128th meridian and Krosa at the 140th meridian East, all three storms are "bustling" together.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that storm Krosa is forecast to move north and not enter the East Sea, so the Department of Hydro-Meteorology and the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment will not issue information about this storm.
