In particular, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said that Bualoi was determined to be at the level of a severe tropical storm with sustained winds of 100km/h (equivalent to level 10 storm winds on the Vietnam scale), central pressure of 985hPa (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm).

At the same time, at 4:00 a.m. this morning, the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) recorded the storm center at 12.2 degrees North latitude - 124.1 degrees East longitude, right above the central Philippines, with winds of 110km/hour (equivalent to level 11).

The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC - USA) in the 18:00 UTC bulletin on September 25 (ie 1:00 a.m. September 26 Hanoi time) said that the storm is about 560km southeast of Manila (Philippines), with maximum winds of 100km/h (level 10), pressure of about 993mb (according to the US scale), moving west-northwest at a speed of nearly 25km/h.

Thus, compared to the times on September 25, when it made landfall in the Philippines, storm Bualoi has decreased by 1-2 levels (from level 12 according to information from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting of Vietnam). Some online forecasting platforms such as Zoom Earth (compiled from JMA, JTWC) predict that in the next 24 hours, the storm will weaken slightly when it passes the Philippines but is likely to strengthen again when it enters the East Sea, even reaching a stronger storm level (possibly exceeding level 12 according to the Vietnam storm wind scale).

Thanh Tin Commune Police ( Tuyen Quang Province) helps people urgently harvest rice before the storm hits.

These platforms have issued red and orange warnings for the Philippines and surrounding areas due to the risk of strong winds, heavy rains, flash floods and landslides. This is also an early warning signal for Vietnam with the forecast that the eye of Typhoon Bualoi will make landfall in our country.
