The East Sea is anticipated to brace for two to three tropical storms or tropical depressions in August 2023 that are likely to pound the coast of Vietnam, according to the National Centre for Hydro Meteorological Forecasting.
They will probably strike the northern and north-central provinces of Vietnam, reported the National Centre for Hydro Meteorological Forecasting.
The centre said the number of tropical storms and tropical depressions that hit the East Sea and Vietnam might be lower than the annual average.
Between 11 and 13 storms or depressions are likely to form in the East Sea, of which five to seven will probably hit Vietnam, said the centre.
Tropical storms are forecast to be more active in the East Sea from August to October 2023 and gradually subside from November 2023.
In July 2023, two tropical storms formed from tropical depressions in the waters off the coast of the Philippines.
Typhoon TALIM slammed into the southern part of China’s Quangxi province on July 18 before moving along the Vietnam – China border, weakening and dissipating in northern border localities of Vietnam.
Meanwhile, DOKSURI strengthened into a super typhoon before the northern part of the East Sea. the super typhoon swept across the Philippines and then pounded Taiwan (China), but did not hit the northern coast of Vietnam.
