This afternoon (November 6), Mr. Vu Anh Tuan, Deputy Head of Weather Forecast Department, National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, updated information about storm Yinxing (at 11am) and the heavy rains occurring in the Central region.

According to Mr. Tuan, currently, a very strong storm, internationally named Yinxing, is active in the sea northeast of Luzon Island (Philippines).

At 10am, the strongest wind near the storm center was level 13 (134-149km/h), gusting to level 16. Moving northwest at a speed of about 15km/h.

According to Mr. Tuan, when entering the eastern sea of the North East Sea, the storm will be at level 12-13. When entering the East Sea, the storm is likely to be affected by cold air, the sea surface temperature will decrease and the environment will also change. Therefore, the intensity of the storm will also change, especially when entering the northeastern area of the Hoang Sa archipelago.

The latest assessment of the Forecast Center is that from November 8-10, the storm will move northeast to the north of Hoang Sa, then gradually shift southwest and head towards the Hoang Sa archipelago.

The trajectory and intensity of storm No. 7, if it is able to enter the East Sea, will change, so people need to update and follow the next news.

In addition, due to the influence of storm Yinxing, the sea area east of the North East Sea will have strong winds of level 6-7. From this evening and tomorrow night (November 7), it will increase to level 8-10, the area near the storm center will have levels 11-13, gusts of level 16, waves 4-6m high, the area near the center will have 6-8m; the sea will be very rough.

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

Heavy rains in the central region move south

Mr. Vu Anh Tuan also said that the heavy rain in the Central provinces from last night to this morning has moved south through Hai Van Pass. The main cause of the rain is due to the disturbance of the east wind and cold air moving south.

Specifically, the area from Thua Thien Hue to Binh Dinh has heavy to very heavy rain with total rainfall of 50-100mm. Some places in Quang Nam , Quang Ngai and northern Binh Dinh have seen rain of over 200mm.

According to the assessment, this rainy area will continue to expand southward, to Khanh Hoa and last from now until November 7 with a total rainfall of 50-100mm, with some places still experiencing 200mm of rain. In particular, some places will experience 100mm of rain in 6 hours.
