The National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasts reported that a tropical depression was identified in the central Philippines at 07:00 local time this Tuesday. The system, with winds reaching up to 61 km/h and gusts of 88 km/h, is expected to move westward at 10-15 km/h over the next 48 to 72 hours. The Eastern Central Sea and the maritime area north of the Southeastern Sea, including the Truong Sa special zone, are forecasted to experience severe weather conditions, with winds up to 117 km/h and gusts reaching 166 km/h. The Center has issued warnings for vessels in these areas, cautioning against storms, whirlwinds, strong winds, and large waves. Concurrently, Vietnam is grappling with the aftermath of historic floods that have claimed 102 lives, left thousands homeless, and caused extensive damage to agriculture and infrastructure. The National Assembly of Vietnam observed a minute of silence for the victims and initiated a fund collection for those affected.
