According to Mr. Tuan, this afternoon, June 11, storm No. 1 is still active at level 8, gusting to level 10. It is forecasted that tomorrow morning, June 12, the storm will change direction, heading towards Hainan Island (China) and continue to strengthen.

"We predict that when the storm reaches the southern area of Hainan Island (China), it may strengthen to level 10 and gust up to level 13," said Mr. Vu Anh Tuan.

Mr. Tuan said that after passing Hainan Island (China), the storm will change direction to the North Northeast and then make landfall in the southern region of mainland China.

However, there is still another scenario but the probability is low that the storm will go around to the west of Hainan Island (China) and the east of the Gulf of Tonkin. Then the storm will change direction, entering the southern area of mainland China.

Although the storm did not make landfall, Mr. Vu Anh Tuan warned that the storm's circulation combined with the Southwest monsoon activated in the South of our country, the Central Central region and the North Central Highlands will have a very heavy rain from this evening, June 11 to June 13 (flow can reach 400-450mm, especially Quang Tri, Hue to Quang Nam ) with a high risk of causing flash floods and landslides.
