The strongest wind near the center of the tropical depression was level 6 (39 - 49 km/h), gusting to level 8; moving in the West Northwest direction at a speed of about 20 km/h.

The Hydrometeorological Agency forecasts that in the next 12 hours, the tropical depression will continue to move in a West-Northwest direction, gradually weakening into a low-pressure area and dissipating. However, the post-storm circulation will continue to cause heavy rain in the Northern Delta and midland areas, Son La, Lao Cai , Thanh Hoa and Nghe An; strong winds and high waves in the Gulf of Tonkin will continue.

Mr. Nguyen Van Huong recommended that authorities and people in the above areas pay attention to heavy rain forecasts and dangerous weather at sea to proactively respond.
