Storm No. 10 weakens, combines cold air and heavy rain from Da Nang to the south

Storm No. 10 (international name Pabuk) will weaken into a tropical depression in the next 24 hours. Although it will have little impact on the mainland, the storm's circulation combined with cold air will cause heavy rain in many places from Da Nang to the south.

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, as of 7:00 a.m. today (December 24), the center of storm No. 10 is still located in the southwest sea area of the Central East Sea. The strongest wind near the center of the storm is level 8 (62-74 km/h), gusting to level 10; moving in the West Southwest direction, speed 5-10 km/h.

In the next 24 hours, the storm will maintain its direction and speed of movement and gradually weaken into a tropical depression. By 7am tomorrow morning (December 25), the center of the storm will remain a tropical depression over the sea from Khanh Hoa to Binh Thuan with the strongest winds at level 6-7 (62-74 km/h), gusting to level 9.

At 7:00 a.m. on December 26, the center of the tropical depression was located over the sea from Ninh Thuan to Ba Ria - Vung Tau. The strongest wind near the center of the tropical depression was below level 6; moving in a West Southwest direction and gradually weakening into a low pressure area, at a speed of 10 km/hour.

Due to the influence of storm No. 10, after weakening into a tropical depression, the southwestern sea area between the East Sea and the northwestern sea area of the South East Sea (including the northwestern sea area of Truong Sa) has strong winds of level 6-7, the area near the storm's center has strong winds of level 8, gusts of level 10, waves 4-6m high; rough seas. The sea area from Khanh Hoa to Binh Thuan (including Phu Quy island) has strong winds of level 6, sometimes level 7, gusts of level 8-9, waves 3-6m high; rough seas.

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

Earlier, on the evening of November 23, Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam, Deputy Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said that the storm would weaken at sea, so it was “less likely to affect our mainland”. However, the storm’s circulation combined with the northeast monsoon would cause rain in the Central and South Central regions, the Eastern Central Highlands and the Southeast.

The meteorological agency said that on the night of December 23, in the Central Central region, there was rain, showers, and locally moderate rain.

It is forecasted that from early this morning to tomorrow night (December 25), in the area from Da Nang to Khanh Hoa, there will continue to be moderate rain, heavy rain, locally very heavy rain and thunderstorms with common rainfall from 70-170mm, locally over 300mm. Warning of the risk of local heavy rain (>100mm/6 hours).

In addition, this evening and tonight, Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan and the eastern part of the Central Highlands will have rain, moderate rain and scattered thunderstorms, locally heavy rain, with rainfall from 15-40 mm, locally over 70 mm.

In addition, the Southern Hydrometeorological Station also said that the weather in the South will be cloudy, sunny during the day, with scattered showers in the evening, moderate rain in some places, heavy rain and thunderstorms in some places.

Ho Chi Minh City weather is cloudy, sunny during the day, no rain at night; light fog in the early morning; showers and thunderstorms in some places in the late afternoon and evening.

The meteorological agency noted that in the above areas, there is a possibility of tornadoes, lightning and strong gusts of wind during thunderstorms. Heavy rain can cause flooding in low-lying areas; flash floods in small rivers and streams; and landslides on steep slopes.

Storm No. 10 enters the sea area from Phu Yen to Ba Ria - Vung Tau, where is the rain center?

Although storm No. 10 is only about level 8, the storm circulation combined with the northeast monsoon can cause heavy rain in the Central and South Central regions, the Eastern Central Highlands and the Southeast.
