In the next 12 hours, the tropical depression will maintain its direction of movement, at a speed of about 15km/h, and then weaken into a low pressure area over the coastal areas of Quang Ngai - Phu Yen provinces.

Due to the influence of the above patterns, the weather in the sea area from Thua Thien Hue to Phu Yen (including Ly Son island district) today has strong winds of level 6, gusts of level 9, waves 2-3m high; rough sea.

Today and tonight, the area from Thua Thien Hue to Phu Yen will have moderate rain, heavy rain, locally very heavy rain and thunderstorms with rainfall from 40-100mm, locally over 200mm. Warning of the risk of local heavy rain (>100mm/6 hours).

In other news, Typhoon Toraji entered the South China Sea last night, becoming the eighth typhoon of 2024. As of 7:00 AM this morning, the typhoon's center was located in the eastern part of the North East Sea. The strongest winds near the center of the typhoon were at force 9-10 (75-102 km/h), with gusts up to force 12. It is moving northwest at a speed of approximately 10 km/h.

Twenty-four hours later, Typhoon No. 8 maintained its direction of movement and intensity, with its speed increasing to 15 km/h; it remained over the eastern part of the North East Sea.

In the next 24 to 48 hours, the storm will move West Northwest then West Southwest, at a speed of 10-15km/h, gradually weakening in intensity. By 7am on November 15, storm No. 8 weakened into a tropical depression in the Northwest of the North East Sea.

From the next 72 to 96 hours, the tropical depression will move in the West Southwest direction, about 5km per hour, and its intensity will continue to weaken.

Due to the influence of storm No. 8, the sea area to the east of the North East Sea has strong winds of level 6, then increasing to level 7-8, the area near the storm's eye has level 9-10, gusts of level 12, waves 3-5m high, the area near the storm's eye has 5-7m; the sea is very rough.

Vessels operating in the above mentioned dangerous areas are susceptible to the impact of storms, whirlwinds, strong winds and large waves.

In addition, according to meteorological experts, the East Sea may welcome storm No. 9 in the near future, as there is a tropical depression and an active storm off the coast of the Philippines.

Deputy Director General of the Vietnam Meteorological and Hydrological Administration, Hoang Duc Cuong, requested the National Center for Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting, together with the Institute of Meteorology, Hydrology and Climate Change, to continue research to gather more information on the potential interaction between weather systems. Along with strong winds from typhoons, attention should be paid to the Northeast monsoon situation to provide timely forecasts, as in some cases, monsoon winds can be stronger than typhoon winds.
