Typhoon Yinxing weakens, typhoon Toraji to enter East Sea
VOV.VN - Typhoon Yinxing is losing its strength and is expected to head for the central coast of Vietnam on November 12, while another typhoon, Toraji, is anticipated to move into the East Sea on the same day.
At 4a.m. on November 11, Yinxing was swirling across the northern part of Vietnam’s Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago with winds gusting up to 100kph near its centre.
In the next 24 hours, Yinxing is forecast to weaken to a tropical depression and head for the coastal waters from Quang Ngai to Binh Dinh.
By 4 p.m. on November 12, the tropical depression will weaken further into a low pressure area over the region from Gia Lai to Binh Dinh provinces.
Meanwhile, at 1 a.m. on November 11, typhoon Toraji was moving into the eastern waters of the Philippines’ Luzon Island, packing winds of 150kph near its eye.
It is forecasted that by around 1 a.m. on November 12, Toraji will enter the East Sea and be active in the eastern waters of the northern part of the East Sea. Afterward, Toraji is anticipated to lose its strength.
In the next 72 to 120 hours, Toraji is set to move west-northwest, then likely change direction to west-southwest at a speed of 5-10 km/h, before further weakening.
Meteorologists said the central and south central regions would experience rain in the coming days. However, there is very little chance of extreme rainfall that could cause flooding in rivers across the central region.
Localities and residents in coastal areas of the central region, especially from Quang Tri to Quang Ngai, should closely monitor the typhoons’ developments and prepare response plans to minimize risks, they said.
