Storm No. 10 Bualoi follows super storm No. 9 Ragasa. Although Bualoi's maximum intensity is not as strong, the closer it gets to the shore, the stronger it tends to be - this is in contrast to Typhoon Ragasa. The rapid progress of the storm further shortened the response time. Given the dangerous nature, this morning, September 27, Mr. Mai Van Khiem - Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, Department of Hydro-Meteorology made the latest comments about storm No. 10.
Storm No. 10 gets stronger as it gets closer to shore, causing stronger winds than when storm No. 5 Kajiki
Sir, what are the different characteristics of storm No. 10 Bualoi?
- Storm Bualoi is a storm that moves very quickly (about 30-35 km/h, nearly double the average speed), the stronger the storm is, the closer it moves to the shore, the stronger the storm tends to be. The scope of impact of storms is wide, which can cause the combined impact of many types of natural disasters such as strong winds, heavy rain, floods, flash floods, landslides and coastal flooding.
At least four people have died as a result of Typhoon Bualoi in the Philippines, and more than 433,000 have been displaced by the risk of landslides and flooding.
Forecast when will the storm make landfall and where will the focus of the storm make landfall, sir?
- It is forecasted that around the morning of September 28, the storm will move into the central sea and around the evening of September 28, it will make landfall in Nghe An - Bac Quang Tri.
This is a very strong storm, strong winds on land are forecast to be equivalent to or greater than storm No. 5 (Kajiki) in 2025 making landfall in Ha Tinh. Previously, storm No. 5 caused strong winds of level 8-10, gusting to level 12 in Nghe An-Ha Tinh area.
Previously, international forecasts were quite dispersed and inconsistent about the area of landfall. Is there a consensus up to now, sir?
- When the storm moves into the East Sea, the International Storm Forecast Centers all predict that the storm will travel along the central coast, then make landfall in the provinces from Nghe An - Quang Tri. However, the intensity of the storm when affected by the Centers is forecast differently.
Forecast of the Japan Meteorological and Meteorological Center and China: Assessed that the storm will affect Vietnam on the night of September 28, focusing on the Nghe An - North Quang Tri area, level 12 intensity, gust level 15.
The Hong Kong Meteorological Forecast (China) predicts that on the night of September 28, the storm will affect Vietnam, focusing on the Ha Tinh - North Quang Tri area, with an intensity of level 13, gusting to level 16.
The US Navy's forecast predicts that the storm will affect Vietnam on the night of September 28, focusing on the Quang Tri area with an intensity of level 12 on the Vietnam wind scale, gusting to level 15.
Northern Delta and from Thanh Hoa to Ha Tinh have the heaviest rain due to storm
Sir, where will the focus of strong winds on land be and when will the wind start to impact?
- From the afternoon of September 28, on the mainland from Thanh Hoa to Bac Quang Tri, the wind will gradually increase to level 6-7, then increase to level 8-9, the area near the storm's eye will pass level 10-12 (the wind force can knock down trees, houses, electric poles, causing very heavy damage), gusting to level 14.
Coastal areas from Quang Ninh to Ninh Binh, from South Quang Tri to Hue city, winds will gradually increase to level 6-7 ( Trees will shake, it will be difficult to go back to the wind), gusting to level 8-9.
So which areas are the focus of heavy rain due to storm No. 10, sir?
- From the night of September 27 to September 30, in the North and the area from Thanh Hoa to Hue city, there is a possibility of a widespread heavy rain with total rainfall from 100-300mm, locally over 400mm. In the Northern Delta and from Thanh Hoa to Ha Tinh, the common area is from 200-400mm, locally over 600mm.
