From the next 72 to 96 hours, the tropical depression moves in the South Southwest direction, traveling 5-10km per hour, gradually weakening into a low pressure area.

Experts say that when entering the East Sea, storm Man-yi is likely to interact with cold air flowing toward our country, so it will quickly weaken.

However, due to the impact of the storm, the eastern sea area of ​​the North East Sea has strong winds of level 8-10, near the eye of the storm level 11-13, gusts of level 15, waves 3-5m high, near the eye of the storm 5-7m; the sea is very rough. Ships operating in the above-mentioned dangerous areas are likely to be affected by storms, whirlwinds, strong winds, and large waves.
