The Meteorological Department has updated information on “Storm Yangi” which has weakened in Vietnam, but the northern and northeastern regions are still at risk of heavy rain.
On September 9, 2024, the Meteorological Department announced that “Storm Yagi” has weakened into a depression and a low-pressure cell is forming, which is considered to have dissipated, but it is still leaving behind rain. In the upper northern and upper northeastern regions, there may be heavy to very heavy rain with strong winds in some areas during September 11-12.
And because the southwest monsoon is quite strong covering the upper Andaman Sea, Thailand and the upper Gulf of Thailand, this will cause some areas of the Eastern region and the western coast of the Southern region to experience heavy rain.
The current situation is that people should be careful of the dangers of heavy rain and accumulated rain that may cause flooding and flash floods.
For waves in the upper Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf of Thailand, they are quite strong with waves 2-3 meters high. In areas with thunderstorms, waves are higher than 3 meters. In the lower Andaman Sea and the lower Gulf of Thailand, waves are 1-2 meters high. Far from the shore and in areas with thunderstorms, waves are higher than 2 meters.
Sailors in the area are asked to sail with caution and avoid sailing in areas with thunderstorms. Small boats in the upper Andaman Sea and upper Gulf of Thailand should refrain from leaving the shore for another day.
