About 12-14 storms could hit the East Sea this year, with around half expected to directly affect Vietnam’s mainland, a meteorologist has said.
Mai Van Khiem, Director of the National Centre for Hydro-meteorological Forecasting, told a recent conference that from now until May, it is unlikely that any storms or tropical depressions would hit the East Sea.
Between August and September, tropical depressions and storms will mostly affect the north and north-central regions yet those striking during the period from September until the year’s end would affect the central and south central regions.
Between April and October, the total rainfall will be equivalent to that recorded in the corresponding time in the previous years, and would be 10-20% higher in April, May, August and September.
