Recently, Vietnamese users have been paying attention to weather monitoring tools, as storm No. 3 (Yagi) - one of the strongest storms in the East Sea in the past 10 years - is approaching.
Thai Binh, Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh, Hai Phong and Quang Ninh provinces are forecast to be heavily affected, and searches for Typhoon Yagi have also spiked in these areas.
Google statistics show that in the past two days, the number of searches related to how to directly track the path of Typhoon Yagi increased by 200 - 500%.
Due to this interest, many people sought to track information about Typhoon Yagi on their smartphones, and Windy thus became the top free app on Apple's App Store, and also the most popular weather app on the Android Play Store.
Windy is one of the world's leading weather apps, allowing users to directly track information such as temperature, wind direction and weather developments.
The application works on both smartphones and web browsers, providing data from many reputable sources such as the Global Weather Forecast System GFS, the European Center for Weather Forecasts ECMWF and the ICON system. With high accuracy and an intuitive interface, Windy has become an indispensable tool for users in tracking storms.
In addition to Windy, Vietnamese users can also monitor weather information through the Vietnam Disaster Monitoring System at vndms.dmc.gov.vn.
This website provides detailed information about Vietnam's weather, including the direction of travel and areas affected by storms, similar to Windy.
In addition, Google Maps also provides warnings about Typhoon Yagi with data collected from the Japan Meteorological Agency. When users access the map, a notification providing detailed information about the current location of the typhoon, forecast direction and areas with strong winds will appear right on the main interface to warn users.
