TPO - Early this morning (July 15), a tropical depression approached the coast from Quang Binh to Quang Ngai, forecast to make landfall this afternoon, continuing to cause prolonged heavy rain in the North, Central, Central Highlands and South, with the risk of flooding, flash floods and landslides in many places.
At 1:00 a.m. this morning (July 15), the center of the tropical depression was in the sea southwest of Hoang Sa archipelago with the strongest wind near the center of the tropical depression at level 6 (39-49 km/h), gusting to level 8.
It is forecasted that in the next 12 hours (from 1:00 a.m. on July 15), the tropical depression will continue to move west-northwest, traveling about 10-15 km per hour.

Due to the influence of a tropical depression connected to the tropical convergence zone with an axis through the Central Central region, last night and early this morning (July 15), the delta region, North and Central Central regions, Central Highlands and Southeast regions had showers and thunderstorms, locally heavy to very heavy rain.
It is forecasted that from today until early morning of July 17, the plains and coastal areas of the North, North and Central Central regions, Central Highlands and the South will continue to have moderate rain, heavy rain and thunderstorms, with some places having very heavy rain.
In which, the plains and coastal areas of the North, Central Highlands and South have common rainfall from 50-100mm, locally over 150mm. The North and Central Central regions have common rainfall from 50-100mm, locally over 200mm.

Heavy rain continues in most areas of the country today and in the coming days. |
The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting warns that from July 17-18, the Northeast and North Central regions will continue to have moderate rain, heavy rain and thunderstorms, locally very heavy rain with common rainfall from 50-100mm, locally over 150mm.
In the Central Central, Central Highlands and Southern regions, there will be moderate rain, heavy rain and thunderstorms on the day and night of July 17, with some places experiencing very heavy rain with rainfall ranging from 30-60mm, and over 120mm in some places. From July 18, rain is likely to gradually decrease in this area.
Also due to the influence of the tropical depression, the northwest sea area of the area between the East Sea and the southwest sea area of the North East Sea (including the sea area of the Hoang Sa archipelago) and the offshore sea area from Quang Binh to Quang Ngai will have showers and heavy thunderstorms, strong winds of level 6, gusts of level 8, and rough seas.
The sea area from Binh Dinh to Ca Mau, the South East Sea area (including the sea area of Truong Sa archipelago) has strong winds of level 6, gusts of level 8-9, rough seas. The Gulf of Tonkin has strong winds of level 5, sometimes level 6, rough seas.
The tropical depression formed from a low pressure area that appeared in the middle of the East Sea at noon on July 13, and strengthened into a tropical depression in the afternoon of the same day. It was an irregular tropical depression that made landfall in the Central region in July, instead of moving up to China or making landfall in the North as has been the case in many years. This shows that natural disasters are becoming increasingly unusual and severe.
