Storm No. 4 has left the East Sea and will not return.

Storm No. 4 has moved out of the East Sea. However, the meteorological agency warned that the East Sea could still see 8-11 more storms from now until the end of the year.

On the afternoon of July 25, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting reported that storm No. 4 (Comay) had moved out of the East Sea, to the waters north of Luzon Island (Philippines). This storm only reached level 8-9, continued to move in a North-Northeast direction, at a speed of about 20-25km/hour and was unlikely to return to the East Sea.

However, according to Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Hoang Hiep, the ENSO phenomenon (a climate phenomenon that affects global weather through changes in sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific Ocean ) will remain neutral with a probability of 70-90% from now until October 2025 and continue in this state with a probability of 50-60% until January 2026.

Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Hiep cited long-term forecast data from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, saying that from now until the end of 2025, the East Sea is still likely to see about 8-11 storms and tropical depressions. Of these, about 3-5 storms could directly affect Vietnam's mainland.

The period from August to October is considered the peak of the storm season, with 6-8 types of storms active in the East Sea, of which 2-3 can make landfall. November and December may see 2-3 more storms or tropical depressions, of which 1-2 storms directly affect our mainland.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said that since the beginning of the year, natural disasters have killed 114 people and caused damage of 553 billion VND.
