The East Sea is about to welcome storm number 13, heading towards Da Nang to Khanh Hoa

Currently, in the eastern part of the Philippines, there is an active tropical depression (ATNĐ). It is forecasted that by the morning of November 2, this tropical depression will strengthen into a storm, and by November 5, it will enter the East Sea as storm No. 13. Notably, on November 7, the storm will move inland, directly impacting from Da Nang City to Khanh Hoa.

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, on November 1, in the eastern part of the Philippines, there is a tropical depression (TLD), located at about 9.9N-138.4E at 13:00. According to current forecast data, from the night of November 1 to the morning of November 2, the TLD is likely to strengthen into a storm;

Around November 5 (Wednesday), the storm will enter the East Sea and become storm number 13. It is forecasted that this will be a strong storm in the East Sea, the strongest in the Truong Sa special zone, it can be over level 12.

Around November 7, the storm will move into our country, the focus area that needs to be noted that is likely to be directly affected is from Da Nang City to Khanh Hoa . The storm can cause strong winds and heavy rain in the provinces of the Central Central, South Central, and Central Highlands regions from the night of November 6 to November 9, 2025.

Note that the storm has not yet formed and is still affected by many large-scale factors in the coming days as well as the impact of terrain when making landfall in the Philippines, so scenarios on the intensity, direction of movement as well as the area directly affected by storm No. 13 still need to be monitored and updated with new observation and forecast data.

Along with that, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that under the influence of cold air combined with the tropical convergence zone connecting with a low vortex in the central East Sea area, in the upper atmosphere at an altitude of 1,500 - 5,000 m, the humid East wind zone is strongly active; therefore, from the night of October 31 to November 1, in the area from Ha Tinh to Da Nang City and the East of Quang Ngai province, there will be moderate rain, heavy rain, locally very heavy rain and thunderstorms.

Rainfall in Nghe An province: 30 - 70 mm, some places over 90 mm such as: Mon Son 110 mm, Pu Mat 102 mm, Ha Tinh: 100 - 200 mm, some places over 250 mm such as: Ha Tinh 286 mm, Thach Xuan 268 mm, Quang Tri: 50 - 100 mm, some places over 150 mm such as: Son Trach 233 mm, Phong Nha 211 mm, Hue city: 50 - 100 mm, some places over 120 mm such as: Binh Dien 166 mm, Rao Trang hydroelectric dam 154 mm; Da Nang city: 70 - 140 mm, some places over 190 mm such as: Tra Kot 277 mm, Phuoc Hiep 226 mm. Tra My 208 mm, Quang Ngai province (old): 80 - 220 mm, some places over 250 mm such as: Nghia Trung 367 mm, Tra Hiep 310 mm, Tra Khuc 268 mm,...

Floods on rivers from Quang Tri to Quang Ngai tend to rise again. Currently, the water level on Gianh River (Quang Tri) is above alert level 1; on Bo River and Huong River (Hue City) is above alert level 2; on Vu Gia and Thu Bon River (Da Nang City) is fluctuating between alert levels 1 and 2; on Tra Khuc River (Quang Ngai) is at alert level 2.

Forecasting the flood situation in the Central provinces from November 1 to 4, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, from November 1 to 3, cold air will continuously be strengthened in combination with the tropical convergence zone with an axis passing through the South Central region (connected with the low pressure area in the South East Sea) operating strongly, the East wind zone in the atmospheric layers from 1500 - 5000 m will continue to operate strongly, so it is forecasted that from November 1 to November 4, the area from Ha Tinh to Da Nang city and the East of Quang Ngai province will have heavy to very heavy rain with rainfall in Hue city, Da Nang city and the East of Quang Ngai province generally 300 - 600 mm, locally over 800 mm; in Ha Tinh and Quang Tri areas generally 200 - 350 mm, locally over 500 mm; Southern Nghe An province and western Quang Ngai province have moderate to heavy rain with common rainfall of 70 - 150 mm, locally very heavy rain over 250 mm.

It is forecasted that rain in the Central region will tend to decrease from November 5 to 6.

Due to heavy rains, from November 2-5, on rivers from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai and Dak Lak, floods may appear, with flood peaks on rivers likely to be as follows: Ha Tinh: Ngan Sau and Ngan Pho rivers rise to level 2-3. Quang Tri: Gianh River rises to level 2-3; Kien Giang and Thach Han rivers rise to level 2-3 and above 3. Hue City: Bo and Huong rivers rise to level 3 and above 3. Da Nang City: Vu Gia-Thu Bon rivers rise to level 2-3 and above 3. Quang Ngai: Tra Khuc and Ve rivers rise to level 2-3 and above 3, Se San rivers rise to level 1-2. Small rivers, upstream of rivers in Gia Lai, Dak Lak and Khanh Hoa rise to level 1-2 and above 2.

There is a high risk of flash floods on small rivers and streams, landslides on steep slopes in mountainous areas of the provinces from Ha Tinh to Quang Gia Lai, especially in the provinces/cities of Ha Tinh, Quang Tri, Hue City, Da Nang City and Quang Ngai; in which Ha Tinh has 47 communes/wards; Quang Tri 30 communes/wards; Hue City 19 communes/wards; Da Nang City 62 communes/wards; Quang Ngai 52 communes/wards, Gia Lai 36 communes/wards with a very high risk of flash floods and landslides.
