Tropical depression moves rapidly towards the mainland, causing thunderstorms across the country

(Dan Tri) – The tropical depression in the East Sea maintains strong winds of level 7, gusting to level 9, causing bad weather at sea. In particular, thunderstorms also appear across the country.

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, at 7:00 p.m. on September 18, the center of the tropical depression was located at about 16.9 degrees North latitude; 111.5 degrees East longitude, in the Hoang Sa archipelago, about 360km East Northeast of Da Nang .

The strongest wind near the center of the tropical depression is level 7 (50-61km/h), gusting to level 9; moving mainly to the West at a speed of about 20km/h.

At 7am on September 19, the tropical depression intensified into a storm, about 190km east of Quang Tri , about 100km northeast of Da Nang. The wind at the center of the storm was strong at level 8 (62-74km/h), gusting to level 10; moving west, traveling about 20-25km per hour.

Due to the impact of the tropical depression (which later strengthened into a storm), the western sea area of ​​the North East Sea (including the Hoang Sa archipelago), the sea area from Nghe An to Quang Ngai (including the island districts of Ly Son, Cu Lao Cham, Con Co, Hon Ngu) has strong winds of level 6-7, waves 2-4m high, the area near the storm center has level 8 (62-74km/h), gusts of level 10 (89-102km/h), waves 3-5m high, rough seas.

Vessels operating in the above mentioned dangerous areas are susceptible to the impact of storms, whirlwinds, strong winds and large waves.

Storm Yagi, with a strength of level 14 and gusts of level 17, has broken down many electric poles, blocking Highway 18 from Cam Pha City to Ha Long City (Quang Ninh), hindering traffic (Photo: Huu Khoa).
