The storm then changed direction to move West Northwest at a speed of 10-15km/h, gradually weakening in intensity. At 10pm on November 13, the storm's center was located in the northern sea area of ​​the North East Sea and its intensity decreased to level 8-9, gusting to level 11.

In the following hours, the storm moved northward into the North East Sea at a speed of about 10km/h and gradually weakened into a tropical depression.

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.

Thus, storm number 8 after entering the East Sea tends to weaken quickly and dissipate at sea.

However, due to the influence of storm No. 8, the eastern sea area of ​​the North East Sea has strong winds of level 6-7, then increasing to level 8, the area near the storm's eye has levels 9-11, gusts of level 12, waves 3-5m high, the area near the storm's eye has 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.

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