Typhoon Kalmaegi, the 13th storm to hit the East Sea this year, has weakened into a low-pressure system, but moderate to heavy rain continues across several regions, according to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.

As Typhoon Kalmaegi, the 13th storm to hit the East Sea this year, intensifies and heads toward Vietnam’s central coast, localities across the central and Central Highlands regions, including Dak Lak, Lam Dong, Da Nang and Quang Ngai, have activated their highest-level disaster response measures to ensure the safety of people and property.

By 7 a.m. on November 7, the storm is expected to continue moving west-northwest, make landfall, and weaken into a tropical depression over southern Laos.

International participants shared insights into the application of scientific and technological advances in four key areas - protecting marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction; balancing production and biodiversity in coastal aquaculture and conservation; leveraging big maritime data for spatial management and eco-tourism development; and safeguarding seabed infrastructure.

By 1:00 am on November 7, the typhoon is predicted to make landfall along the coast from Quang Ngai to Dak Lak, sustaining winds at Level 12 with gusts up to Level 15.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has ordered authorities to take urgent measures against possible flash floods, landslides, and inundation caused by Typhoon Matmo — the 11th storm to hit the East Sea this year.

According to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, as of 2 pm on October 4, the storm’s eye was located at 18.4 degrees North latitude and 115.1 degrees East longitude, about 330 km east-northeast of Hoang Sa special zone. Winds near the centre reached level 12 (118–133 km/h), with gusts up to level 15.

At landfall, the storm packed maximum sustained winds of 130 km/h, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

Typhoon Matmo is moving into the East Sea and is expected to intensify in the coming days, bringing the risk of rough seas, heavy rains and flooding across northern and north-central Vietnam.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has signed Dispatch No. 185/CD-TTg calling for urgent action to remedy the aftermath of Typhoon Bualoi and subsequent floods.
