Recently, Mr. Hoang Duc Cuong - Deputy Director of the Department of Hydrometeorology (Ministry of Agriculture and Environment) said that from now until the end of 2025, it is necessary to pay attention to some key developments such as storms, floods and cold air activities.
"Regarding storms, from now until the end of 2025, there may be 5-7 storms or tropical depressions in the East Sea. It is possible that half of them will affect the mainland of Vietnam" - Mr. Cuong said.
According to the representative of the Department of Hydrometeorology, according to the law of the storm season, storms and tropical depressions at the end of the season often affect the area from the Central region to the south. In addition, this year, cold air is forecast to arrive early.
According to the latest weather forecast for the next month (ie from September 11 to October 10) from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, cold air is likely to start appearing from the end of September, but the intensity is still weak and the activity is unstable, so it has not caused significant changes in temperature in the northern provinces.
"The activity of storms and tropical depressions combined with cold air can increase the possibility of high-intensity rain in a short time, leading to the risk of urban flooding, industrial parks, flash floods, and landslides in the mountainous areas west of the Central region" - Mr. Cuong analyzed.
The Institute of Meteorology, Hydrology and Climate Change has also updated the 3-month climate trend forecast bulletin (from September to November). Accordingly, the end of the summer monsoon is likely to be close to the average of many years, i.e. around the beginning to mid-October.
The winter monsoon is likely to start at approximately the average of many years (ie at the end of October) and increase in intensity from November.
