The Department of Hydrometeorology clarifies information about storm No. 12 appearing in the East Sea.

Regarding information on social networks about storm No. 12 (international name is storm Ha Long) which is expected to appear right after storm No. 11 (MATMO), Deputy Director of the Department of Hydrometeorology (Ministry of Agriculture and Environment) Hoang Duc Cuong said that this is storm No. 22 in the Northwest Pacific and is named right after the name provided by Vietnam, Ha Long.

Therefore, many people mistakenly think that storm Ha Long is storm number 12. Currently, the forecasting system has not received information related to storm number 12.

"There will definitely be storm number 12 in the East Sea, because there will still be storms from now until the end of the year. However, at present, the Department has not seen any conditions for storm number 12 to appear in the East Sea," Deputy Director Hoang Duc Cuong affirmed.

On the other hand, the above storm did not enter the East Sea, so it is not storm number 12 as reported on social networks.
