Due to the effects of the tropical low pressure, strong winds, downpours and thunderstorms have affected the seas in the northwestern area of the East Sea, with rough seas.
Over the next 24 to 48 hours, the tropical low pressure will move western at a speed of 5-10km per hour.
In addition, due to the impact of the tropical convergence strip, and the south-west monsoon, there will be strong thunderstorms, tornadoes and gales in the East Sea and the coastal provinces from Binh Thuan to Ca Mau, Kien Giang and the Gulf of Thailand./.
