It is forecasted that in the next 3 months, El Nino will continue to maintain with a probability of about 85-95%. From the second half of August to November 2023, there will be 5-7 storms or tropical depressions in the East Sea, of which about 2-3 will directly affect the mainland of our country. "Beware of storms with complicated developments in both trajectory and intensity," the meteorological agency noted.

Mr. Hoang Phuc Lam, Deputy Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said that heat waves will continue to occur in the Central region in the second half of August 2023 with the number of hot days higher than the average of many years in the same period. In September, heat waves are also likely to occur in the Central region with decreasing intensity and not lasting long.

In September 2023, due to the influence of the southwest monsoon, off the coast of the provinces from Khanh Hoa to Binh Thuan and in the central area of the East Sea, waves were 2-3m high and the sea was rough.

From September to November 2023, the Southeast coastal area will experience 5 high tides: Phase 1 from September 1 to 3, phase 2 from September 29 to October 3, phase 3 from October 27 to November 1, phase 4 from November 13 to 18, and phase 5 from November 25 to 30.

In particular, the high tide from October 27 can reach 4.2m. If combined with the Northeast monsoon, this high tide will risk causing flooding in low-lying areas, areas outside the dikes of coastal provinces in the Southeast region.
