Updated from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, this morning (July 7), super typhoon Bavi (Vietnamese name Ba Vi) has decreased to level 16. Although this typhoon still maintains super typhoon intensity, it has decreased by 1 level compared to yesterday.
At 7 am this morning, July 7, the center of Super Typhoon Bavi was located at about 16.3 degrees North latitude - 140 degrees East longitude. Currently, Super Typhoon Bavi is about 1850km east of the Central Philippines and about 2100km southeast of Taiwan (China).
Forecast for the next 24 hours, super typhoon Bavi will move mainly in the West direction at a fairly fast speed of about 25-30km/h. From about July 9, super typhoon Bavi will move slower to about 15-20km and change direction, moving West-Northwest towards Taiwan (China). Super typhoon intensity will continue to be maintained for the next 2-3 days.
Around July 10, the intensity of super typhoon Bavi will gradually decrease. Forecast for July 11, the typhoon will move through the northern part of Taiwan Island (China). By July 12, which is this Sunday, the typhoon will make landfall in the Fujian area (China), then go deep into mainland China and gradually weaken.
Vietnam's meteorological agency believes that although it is very unlikely to enter the East Sea, due to the super typhoon's circulation having an extremely wide radius, super typhoon Bavi may also affect the weather of the East Sea. From July 9th, Southwest winds in the southern area of the East Sea (including the Truong Sa special zone sea area) will gradually strengthen to level 6; from July 10th to November 11th, the entire North, Central and South of the East Sea (including the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa special zones sea areas) may strengthen to level 6-7, sea waves are 3-5m high, and the sea is very rough. Ships operating at sea need to proactively monitor to ensure safety.
The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting is still closely monitoring the developments of Super Typhoon Bavi.
