According to low pressure news, a new storm from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), a tropical depression is currently about 2,880 km northeast of Mindanao, with sustained winds of 55 km/h, gusts of 70 km/h.
This tropical depression is forecast to enter the Philippines' monitoring area next week and will be named "Caloy". Although the possibility of landfall in the Philippines is low, the storm is forecast to move in a northerly direction and still potentially strengthen into a storm or super typhoon, according to PAGASA experts.
Meanwhile, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) forecasts that this tropical depression will strengthen into a storm in the next 24 hours, likely to continue moving northwest and approach the Guam area in the coming days.
However, the storm's trajectory is still highly uncertain, due to the impact between high pressure systems in both the east and west.
However, the storm is unlikely to enter the East Sea.
In terms of intensity, the tropical depression is forecast by the JTWC to strengthen steadily and may reach the level of a strong storm, with maximum winds of about 165-175 km/h after 5 days. Some models even offer more extreme scenarios, with the possibility of reaching 230 km/h.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) is also monitoring this tropical depression, forecasting that the system will strengthen into a tropical storm in the afternoon of April 10, with the strongest wind near the center reaching about 74km/h, then increasing to more than 100km/h on April 11.
The radius of strong storm winds is widespread, gradually increasing from 110km (April 10) to 370km after only 5 days. Forecast to April 15, the strongest wind in the area near the storm center will reach 166km/h, gusting violently to 240km/h - super typhoon level.
People and tourists are advised to closely monitor tropical depression forecasts, storm news and weather forecasts if they plan to travel to Guam, Philippines or the Western Pacific region in the next 5-7 days.
Limit sea activities such as diving, rowing or moving by small boats due to high waves and strong winds.
Proactively plan to change schedules, especially for flights and island tours.
