At 1:00 p.m. on August 26, the low pressure position was at about 15.5-16.5 degrees North latitude, 123.5-124.5 degrees East longitude.

Due to the influence of the low pressure circulation (which may later strengthen into a tropical depression), between August 27 and 28, the North and Central East Sea (including the Hoang Sa special zone) will have increasingly strong winds and bad weather. Ships operating in the above areas need to proactively avoid and ensure safety.
