The latest update on Typhoon No. 10, the National Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting Center, at 13:00, 5.11, the storm center was about 210 km east of the coast from Quang Ngai to Phu Yen. In the area near the center of the storm, the strongest wind is at level 8, equivalent to the wind power of 60 to 75 km / hour, shock level 10. Consequently, the area of strong winds of level 6, Shock level 8 or higher has a radius of approximately 140 km from the center of the storm.
Although Storm No. 10 was not considered a strong storm like Storm No. 9, it was very complicated, unpredictable, and headed inland from Quang Ngai to Phu Yen. During the last hours, Typhoon No. 10 has moved at a slow speed, only about 10-15 km / hour.
Exchange with YouthMr. Mai Van Khiem, Director of the National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasts, said that currently there are 3 factors causing Typhoon No. 10 to move slowly inland and it is likely to continue to weaken.
Specifically, Hurricane 10 is experiencing an interaction with Hurricane Atsana operating outside of the South China Sea. This storm was dominated and sucked in by the west wind gully above 3000 – 5000 m altitude. Also, Typhoon No. 10 is being blocked by cold air in the west. These factors cause the storm to move slowly and possibly weaken into a tropical depression in the sea before reaching the mainland.
This morning, the National Center for Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting of storm No. 10 showed signs of weakening through analysis of the low-layer cloud vortex (to the right of the storm) that separated from the deep convection cloud ( left, northwest side of the storm).
The National Center for Hydrological Forecasts warns, people and localities in the expected direct impact of storms are not subjective. Due to the influence of Typhoon No. 10, the Ly Son Island (Quang Ngai) area this afternoon was recorded with strong Level 7, Level 8 winds.
Starting in the afternoon and tonight, 5.11, in the mainland coastal area south of Quang Nam, Quang Ngai and Binh Dinh provinces north of Phu Yen province will have strong winds of 6-7, level 8.
