Typhoon Ragasa is likely to weaken into a tropical depression when it lands the northeastern part of North Viet Nam on September 25 afternoon.

Super Typhoon Ragasa continues to intensify as it approaches the East Sea/South China Sea, bringing powerful winds, towering waves, and warnings of flash floods and landslides in northern mountainous provinces of Viet Nam.

Storm Nongfa weakened into a tropical depression and rolled into the mainland between central Ha Tinh and Quang Tri provinces on August 30 afternoon, said Director of the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting Mai Van Khiem.

A tropical depression in the northwestern part of the East Sea has intensified into a storm – Nongfa, the sixth in the sea this year, according to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.

The National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting has warned of a series of hazardous weather events from July 25 to 27.

A tropical storm churning in the East Sea sustained winds of 62–88km per hour on early July 24, moving south-southeast at 15km per hour, the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting reported.

Storm No. 3, internationally known as Typhoon Wipha, passed north of China’s Leizhou Peninsula on the morning of July 21 and entered the northern Gulf of Tonkin, posing a growing threat to Viet Nam’s northern and north-central coastal regions, according to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.

Typhoon Wipha is approaching northern Viet Nam as it hit China’s Leizhou Peninsula and was about 275km to the east of the Quang Ninh – Hai Phong coast at 4am on July 21.
