The latest storm and low pressure forecast on November 12 from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that 2 new low pressure areas will form near the East Sea after storm No. 14 Fung-wong (called Uwan in the Philippines). Notably, one of the two new low pressure areas will enter the East Sea, affecting Vietnam.
The bulletin stated that from November 11 to November 17, when Typhoon Fung-wong made landfall in Taiwan (China), a new low pressure is likely to form at the southeastern boundary of the Philippine Forecast Area (PAR). This low pressure is forecast to move westward, making landfall in the Visayas - Southern Luzon region, Philippines and then entering the East Sea during the forecast period.
This low pressure will continue to operate in the East Sea during the week from November 18 to November 24 and is likely to affect Vietnam. During its existence near the Philippines and entering the East Sea, forecasters said that this low pressure is unlikely to strengthen into a storm or tropical depression.
Also during the week of November 18 to November 24, another low pressure is likely to form near the Philippines. This low pressure forms east of the PAR boundary, with little chance of strengthening into a storm or tropical depression.
On November 11, Taiwan (China) evacuated more than 3,000 people and issued a warning on land about the impact of Typhoon Fung-wong.
The storm is expected to move northeast on November 12 and is likely to make landfall in southern Taiwan (China) in the afternoon or evening. The storm will then continue moving northeast, with weaker intensity due to geological factors.
Typhoon Fung-wong may leave northeastern Taiwan (China) on the night of November 12 or early morning of November 13 and may become a tropical depression before leaving the island.
Taiwanese (China) weather forecasters note that due to the combined impact of the storm and the northeast monsoon system, heavy rain is forecast to occur on the island. The rain will increase most significantly in central and southern Taiwan (China) as Typhoon Fung-wong approaches.
In Taiwan (China), 66 flights, mostly domestic flights, were canceled on November 11. Authorities in Hoa Lien district as well as Nghi Lan district closed schools and offices on November 11.
Typhoon Fung-wong killed 18 people while sweeping across the Philippines with much stronger intensity. Most of the deaths in the Philippines have been caused by landslides in the northern Cordilleras, said Raffy Alejandro, a senior Philippine civil defense official. Due to the impact of Typhoon No. 21 in the Philippines, in addition to the death toll, there are 2 missing people and 28 injured people in this country.
