Why does the East Sea continuously welcome storms/tropical depressions?

Mr. Nguyen Van Huong, Head of Weather Forecast Department, National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said that in addition to storm number 8 entering the East Sea in the coming hours, storm number 9 may appear in the East Sea in the coming days.

First, Typhoon Yinxing (Typhoon No. 7) has weakened into a tropical depression. Second, Typhoon Toraji is about to enter the South China Sea tonight (November 11) and become Typhoon No. 8, and Typhoon Man-yi is active in the far northwest Pacific.

Along with that, there is a tropical depression active between Typhoon Toraji and Typhoon Man-yi.

Why does the East Sea continuously welcome storms/tropical depressions?

According to Mr. Huong, all three storms and one tropical depression are located on the tropical convergence zone passing through the northern part of the East Sea. Storms and tropical depressions formed on the tropical convergence zone often move in the direction of the tropical convergence zone axis. This is the reason why the East Sea continuously welcomes storms or tropical depressions. There is a possibility of storm No. 8 and it is not excluded that storm No. 9 will appear in the near future in the East Sea.

"With such continuous storm forecasts, dangerous weather in the East Sea such as strong waves and strong winds will last for many days," Mr. Huong commented.

Regarding storm No. 7, Mr. Nguyen Van Huong said that due to the influence of storm No. 7's circulation, from the evening and night of November 11 to the end of November 12, there will be rain in the Central and South Central regions. From early morning of November 12 to November 13, in the area from Thua Thien Hue to Binh Dinh, there is a possibility of moderate to heavy rain, locally very heavy rain with common rainfall of 70-150mm, locally over 250mm. From the night of November 13, heavy rain will gradually decrease.

People in the central coastal areas, especially from Quang Tri to Quang Ngai, need to closely monitor the storm situation and prepare response plans to minimize risks.
