That is information shared by Mr. Mai Van Khiem, Director of the National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasts, at the meeting of the Central Steering Committee for the prevention of natural disasters on October 21, discussing solutions for storm.

Typhoon No. 8 caused very strong seas, with very wide effects
According to Mr. Mai Van Khiem, Storm No. 8 had a very wide circulation, causing the international stations to have very different opinions. In particular, the Japan Hydrometeorological Station, Hong Kong, said the area affected by Typhoon No. 8 when it landed from the North Delta to the South Central Provinces.
This affected area is very wide, unlike many previous storms observed. Regarding the intensity of the storms, international weather stations generally said that the storm will reach the strongest intensity of level 11 – level 12 when it approaches the Paracel archipelago.

The central region will continue to receive a lot of rain until October
Mr. Khiem said that, according to the models for calculating the forecast and the weather conditions in the East Sea, the National Hydrometeorological Forecast Center will be divided into two phases to forecast when the storm enters the area. Paracel Islands.

First of all, if the storm is heading north of the Hoang Sa archipelago, this maritime area is having a fairly high temperature, which causes the intensity of the storm to increase in the next 24 to 48 hours, then continue towards our continent .

If the storm was diverted to the west of the Hoang Sa archipelago, this marine area has a colder water temperature, it can decrease the level of the storm before reaching our continent.

“Our long-haul forecast in the next 3-4 days is that the storm will affect the provinces from north central to central central with an intensity expected at level 8 – level 9,” Khiem said.

Regarding the rain forecast, Mr. Mai Van Khiem said that the recorded data showed that the rain before storm No. 8 was not large and focused only on the moment when the storm was close to the coast and affected directly to the mainland.

It is forecast that around the night of October 24 and 25, heavy rains will be concentrated in the northern and central provinces with rainfall of 200 to 300 mm. But because the central provinces have had heavy rains for many days, this rain still has a very high risk of increasing landslides and floods in mountainous areas.

I’m tired of asking for help because the house is deeply flooded, but my parents are trapped inside.
