VOV.VN - Man-yi intensified into a super typhoon on November 16 and is expected to move into the East Sea on November 18 morning, according to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting Centre.
At 7 a.m. on November 11, Man-yi was swirling across the eastern waters of central Philippines, packing winds of between 184-201 kmh. it was moving northwest at a speed of 20-25 kmh.
In the next 24 hours, Man-yi will continue to move mainly northwest at about 20-25 kmh, and make landfall across the area of the Philippines’ Luzon island before gradually losing force.
The super typhoon is expected to enter the East Sea on November 18 morning and likely to impact Vietnam during this year’s stormy season.
According to Nguyen Van Huong, an official of the National Center for Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting, when Man-yi enters the East Sea, it will interact with a strong cold air moving southward.
The interaction between the cold air and Manyi will make the storm’s intensity and trajectory complex and unpredictable, he warned, adding that the East Sea will experience severe weather conditions in the coming days, including strong winds, high waves, and rough seas.
The meteorologist noted that when Man-yi enters the East Sea, it may initially move northwest before shifting to a west-southwest direction, approaching the waters off the Central and South-central provinces of Vietnam on November 20-21.
Man-yi will be the ninth storm to form in the East Sea this year.
