The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting predicts that in the next few days, a tropical convergence zone will form in the central East Sea and tropical cyclones may form on this tropical convergence zone.
Speaking to Dan Tri reporters on the morning of October 19, Mr. Nguyen Van Huong, Head of the Weather Forecast Department (under the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting), said that the unit is closely monitoring the weather situation in the East Sea to make the most accurate forecasts.
According to Mr. Huong, it is not possible to make an exact forecast, but in the next few days, a tropical depression or storm may appear in the East Sea.
