Absolutely do not organize summer activities during storms.

GD&TĐ - Responding to Storm No. 3, the Ministry of Education and Training emphasizes that summer activities should absolutely not be organized, especially in areas at risk of flooding and landslides.

The Minister of Education and Training issued Official Dispatch No. 1020/CD-BGDDT dated July 20, 2025 on proactively responding to Storm No. 3, sent to Directors of Departments of Education and Training from Quang Ngai and above.

The dispatch stated: According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting at 1:00 a.m. on July 19, the center of Storm No. 3, internationally named Wipha, was located right in the sea north of Luzon Island (Philippines). The strongest wind was level 9 (75-88 km/h), gusting to level 11.

Typhoon Wipha is forecast to enter the East Sea and become the third typhoon in 2025. After entering the East Sea, the storm will continue to move in the West-Northwest direction at a speed of 20-25 km/h and is likely to strengthen. At 1:00 a.m. on July 22, the center of the storm was in the Gulf of Tonkin, with a storm intensity of level 9-10, gusting to level 13.
