The possibility of a double storm forming near the South China Sea.

With Typhoon No. 3 having just dissipated, a new tropical depression has appeared near the East Sea this morning, July 23rd, with the potential to strengthen into a typhoon. Previously, this depression formed Typhoon No. 7 to the east. Therefore, a double typhoon formation is likely to occur in the western Pacific region.

Just as Typhoon No. 3 dissipated, a tropical depression and a typhoon simultaneously appeared near the East Sea this morning, potentially forming a double typhoon in the western Pacific. The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting reported that at 10:00 AM on July 23rd, a tropical depression formed near the East Sea. The center of the tropical depression was located at approximately 18.1 degrees North latitude and 120.1 degrees East longitude, in the sea northwest of Luzon Island (Philippines). The strongest winds near the center of the tropical depression were at level 6 (39-49 km/h), gusting to level 8, moving in a west-southwest direction at a speed of about 15 km/h.

As of 10 PM on July 23rd, the center of the tropical depression was located at approximately 17.8 degrees North latitude and 118.9 degrees East longitude, in the eastern part of the North East Sea. The strongest winds near the center of the tropical depression were at level 7, gusting to level 9. The natural disaster risk level warning for the eastern part of the North East Sea has reached level 3.

The tropical depression continues to move west-southwest at a speed of 10-15 km/h and is likely to intensify. By 10:00 AM on July 24th, the center of the tropical depression will be located at approximately 16.9 degrees North latitude and 118.5 degrees East longitude, over the eastern part of the northern South China Sea. Maximum wind speeds will reach level 8 with gusts up to level 10, and it may strengthen into a typhoon.

In the eastern part of the northern South China Sea, winds are strong, reaching levels 6-7, with winds near the storm's center reaching level 8, gusting to level 10; sea waves are 2-3.5 meters high. The sea is very rough. Vessels operating in these dangerous areas are likely to be affected by thunderstorms, tornadoes, strong winds, and high waves.

Additionally, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), this morning, a tropical depression east of the Philippines strengthened into a typhoon, the seventh typhoon in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, internationally named Francisco. It is forecast that this typhoon will not enter the South China Sea but will move towards the waters north of Taiwan.

According to meteorological experts, if the tropical depression near the South China Sea intensifies into a typhoon as predicted, there is a possibility of a double typhoon forming in the northwestern Pacific Ocean in the coming days. The weather in the coming days will continue to be complex; therefore, the public and local authorities are advised to continue monitoring and updating relevant information.
