Up to 7 storms forecast to strike East Vietnam Sea over next 3 months

Five to seven storms and tropical depressions are forecast to enter the East Vietnam Sea between the second half of August and November, according to the national weather center. Before September 11, one or two storms might rip through the East Vietnam Sea, bringing rains and strong winds to the northern and central regions. Lam also said that heatwaves will continue in central Vietnam in the second half of August. In September, the northern region might experience higher rainfall than that in many years earlier. In the central region, the rain volume in October will be 10-25 percent smaller than the average level of the preceding years.
