Possibility of unusual change?
According to Mr. Nguyen Van Huong, in the coming days, due to the simultaneous impact of the cold air system and the newly formed storm circulation in the East of the Philippines, the direction of movement of storm No. 6 will continue to have unusual changes, especially when passing through the Hoang Sa archipelago, reaching the sea off the Central coast.
"After October 26, storm No. 6 is likely to slow down, weaken and change direction. The possibility of making landfall is still unclear and needs to be monitored," said Mr. Huong.
Due to the complicated path of storm No. 2, Mr. Huong recommends the following immediate notes for the next 2 days: It is necessary to pay attention to the dangers of strong winds and large waves at sea, including in the northern and central areas of the East Sea, the sea area of Hoang Sa island district from today onwards will have strong winds of level 6-7, the area near the storm center will have levels 8-9, then will increase sharply as the storm intensifies; even the southern area of the East Sea is also affected by the strong southwest monsoon of level 6 causing rough seas.
The impact of strong winds on coastal areas will be monitored further in the next bulletin.
