There are strong winds of level 7-9 in the East Sea. According to meteorological experts, this is a strong wind level equal to that of a tropical depression.

The dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment was sent after the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting reported on August 13 that the northeastern sea area of ​​the North East Sea has winds of level 7-9, gusts of level 11-12, very rough seas, waves 2-5m high.

At the same time, the sea area from Lam Dong to Ho Chi Minh City and the sea area west of the South China Sea, including the sea area west of Truong Sa special economic zone, has strong southwest wind level 5, sometimes level 6, gusting to level 7-8, rough sea, waves 1.5-3m high.

The meteorological agency warned that on August 14, the northeastern sea area of ​​the North East Sea will still have strong winds of level 7-8, gusts of level 9-10, waves 2-4m high, and rough seas.

To proactively respond, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment recommends that provinces and cities immediately notify captains and owners of vehicles and boats operating at sea to proactively prevent and have appropriate production plans, ensuring safety of people and property.

Localities need to continuously monitor weather warning information and maintain communication to promptly handle bad situations that may occur. The Ministry also requires localities to be ready with forces and means to deploy rescue work when bad situations or incidents occur.
