On the afternoon of June 11, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment held a meeting with ministries, branches and several central provinces to respond to storm No. 1 and heavy rain.
Speaking at the opening of the meeting, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Hoang Hiep said that this year we welcomed the storm a bit earlier than previous years.
Due to the influence of the storm circulation, some localities in the Central region have had rain. Having rain at this time will be better for some localities in the Central region because it is the beginning of the dry season.
However, this storm has the risk of heavy rain in a short period of time in many locations, with the risk of flooding and landslides.
"With this storm, we are worried about ships at sea and local heavy rain because since the beginning of the season there has been a lot of local rain, and every rainstorm has caused damage," said Mr. Hiep, adding that the meeting was to review and prepare for response before, during and after the storm and heavy rain.
Mr. Mai Van Khiem - Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting - said that at 1:00 p.m. this afternoon, the storm center was east of Hoang Sa archipelago , the strongest wind near the storm center was level 8 (62-74 km/h), gusting to level 10.
"It is forecasted that this evening, the storm will move west-northwest at a speed of about 10km/h. From tonight and tomorrow, the storm is likely to move northwest and north towards Hainan Island (China).
In terms of intensity, the forecast is that strong winds of level 8 will remain today. Tomorrow the storm's intensity is likely to increase to level 9, and on June 13 it may increase to level 10," said Mr. Khiem.
According to Mr. Khiem, international forecasts from Japan, the US, and China all share the same opinion that the storm will move in an arc, towards Hainan Island, then enter mainland China.
In terms of intensity, most current forecasts predict the storm will reach a maximum intensity of level 10, with gusts of level 12. The storm is forecast to reach its maximum intensity around June 13, when it enters the sea south of Hainan Island.
"Data up to now shows no signs that this storm will increase in intensity to a very strong storm," said Mr. Khiem, adding that Vietnam's forecast has some options showing that the storm's intensity could reach level 11, but the probability is not high.
