Meanwhile, storm No. 15 has formed and is still very unpredictable in direction, and needs to continue to be closely monitored. In the context of storms on top of floods, floods on floods, the land is saturated with water, the risk of many types of natural disasters is very high, ministries, branches and localities absolutely must not be subjective and embark on preparations to respond with a sense of responsibility and seriousness. The Deputy Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to focus on quickly assessing the forecast situation of storm No. 15, in the context that many areas are still affected by floods, the situation is still dangerous. At the same time, it is necessary to clarify the current threats, risks and levels of vulnerability, because the impact of storms is not only from wind but also from heavy rain and other natural and man-made factors. At the same time, quickly report on the results of recent directions of the Party, State and Government in overcoming the consequences, as well as the problems being raised by localities and people. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, storm No. 15 is likely to directly and indirectly affect Khanh Hoa, Dak Lak, Gia Lai and Lam Dong - localities that have just been severely affected by floods. The provinces need to briefly report on the situation of overcoming the consequences of rain and floods, and the remaining work after the period of saving people and emergency relief; Initial assessment of the causes and lessons learned from the recent floods to better prevent and mitigate storm No. 15. Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Hoang Hiep said that Storm No. 15 will exist at sea for a very long time, nearly 6 days, from November 27 to December 1 - Photo: VGP/Minh KhoiThe duration of existence at sea of Storm No. 15 is unusually long, Mr. Mai Van Khiem, Director of the National Center for Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting, said that on the evening of November 25, the low pressure area in the Central Philippines strengthened into a storm; The same night it entered the East Sea and became storm No. 15. By 8 a.m. this morning (November 26), storm No. 15 was strong at level 8, with gusts of level 10, about 400 km east-northeast of Truong Sa archipelago. With four different weather patterns operating from the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal to the Northwest Pacific Ocean, the movement of storm No. 15 is more complicated. Current international forecast models show that the main trend is that storm No. 15 will pass north of the Hoang Sa archipelago and then change direction to the north, with little possibility of moving into the coastal areas of Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Lam Dong and Khanh Hoa provinces, which have suffered heavy damage from the recent floods. There is a 70-80% possibility that the storm will increase in intensity in the next 2 days, but the increase is not large, maximum to level 10-11. When approaching the northern area of Truong Sa archipelago, the level was 13-14. After November 29-30, the storm tends to weaken quickly due to encountering cold air, dry air and seas with low temperatures below 26degC. Storm No. 15 can reduce to a tropical depression, or even return to a low area. A notable feature is that Storm No. 15s stay at sea is unusually long, about 4-5 days, because it is located between two pressure systems in the west and east and moves very slowly, only 20 km/h on November 26 and may decrease to 5-10 km/h. Therefore, strong winds and big waves in the middle of the East Sea, especially around Truong Sa - Hoang Sa, may last until December 1. Waves are forecast to be 5-7 m high and accompanied by thunderstorms. With the main scenario (70% probability), storm No. 15 changes direction when about 450-500 km from Khanh Hoa - Gia Lai around November 30. Strong winds on land are assessed as unlikely. Rain may appear from Da Nang to Lam Dong on December 1-2, with a rainfall of about 50-100 mm, concentrated in coastal areas. Bad scenario (20% probability), storm No. 15 hits the mainland in the South Central region, intensity at tropical depression level, weak winds and rainfall of about 150-200 mm, mainly on the coast. The Center for Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting recommends warning of strong winds causing impact. boats, cages and marine aquaculture; There is a risk of flash floods and landslides due to the saturated ground after the recent flood. Further evaluating storm No. 15, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Hoang Hiep said that two outstanding features of Storm No. 15 are unified in all forecast scenarios. First, Storm No. 15 will exist at sea for a very long time, nearly 6 days, from November 27 to December 1. TransparentDuring this time, the storms center and impact area continuously surrounded the sea area of the Truong Sa archipelago and part of Hoang Sa. With such developments, we need to completely ban the sea in this area during the entire time mentioned above, not allowing boa
