A strong storm is about to hit our country.

Mr. Nguyen Van Huong warned that a strong storm was coming.

On September 18, Mr. Nguyen Van Huong, Head of Weather Forecast Department, National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, spoke to the press about the situation of storms in the East Sea.

Mr. Huong said that last night, September 17, the tropical depression in the North of the Philippines entered the North East Sea and today, September 18, strengthened into storm No. 8 (Mitag).

According to forecasts, tomorrow afternoon and evening, storm No. 8 will make landfall in Guangdong province, China and then weaken into a tropical depression. Thus, storm No. 8 will not directly affect the Vietnamese mainland.

However, Mr. Huong warned that the weakened tropical depression from storm No. 8 will move closer to the northern mainland and cause heavy rain in this area on September 23 and 24.

According to Mr. Huong, further forecasts show that from now until the end of 2025, there may be 5-7 storms or tropical depressions in the East Sea, of which 2-4 are likely to directly affect mainland Vietnam.
