Low-pressure area to become storm in East Sea

The storm is said to keep moving slowly and gain intensity steadily. On Thursday morning, 14 cities and provinces in the south central coast, central highlands, and southern region attended an online conference with Deputy PM Trinh Dinh Dung to discuss preparations.

The storm is predicted to hit the south central coast on the afternoon of November 24th. The storm and the northeast monsoon together will cause heavy rain in the central region and central highlands, with precipitation of up to 300mm. So far, most vessels have been safely anchored. However, Deputy PM Trịnh Đình Dũng still requested all localities to keep close watch on the weather forecast, reservoirs, and areas prone to floods and landslides.
