Ship operating in the above-mentioned dangerous areas are likely to be affected by thunderstorms, whirlwinds, strong winds, and large waves.
On land, coastal areas of Quang Ninh and Hai Phong have strong winds of level 6, gusting to level 8.

Meanwhile, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) typhoon/low pressure forecast bulletin said that at 5:00 a.m. on August 19, tropical depression Huaning left the Philippine Forecast Area (PAR), moving towards Japan's Ryukyu Islands and had not yet affected any areas of the Philippines.
Huaning has maximum sustained winds of 55 km/h and gusts of 70 km/h. There are no rain warnings, tropical cyclone signals or dangerous sea conditions due to tropical depression Huaning. Huaning also did not increase the southwest monsoon.
Huaning is the 8th tropical depression/storm to hit the Philippines in 2025, and the 3rd tropical depression/storm in August, following tropical depression Fabian and storm Gorio (Podul).
In addition, PAGASA is also monitoring a new low pressure area (08e) outside the PAR, 1,810km east of Eastern Visayas as of 3am on August 19.
According to PAGASA, the low pressure is likely to develop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
PAGASA weather forecaster Chenel Dominguez said the depression could eventually reach Northern Luzon, but its path is still uncertain.
According to PAGASA's storm/low pressure forecast, during the week of August 25-31, 3 new low pressure areas are expected to appear, of which 2 are located near the East Sea.
