Typhoon NOUL Intensifies in East Sea, Vessels Urged to Evade Danger Zone

On July 25, 2026, the East Sea is under strict alert due to Typhoon NOUL. The typhoon is moving northeast and strengthening in the northeastern East Sea, with strong winds and rough seas expected. Northern Vietnam, particularly the northwest and northeast regions, remains at high risk of heavy rainfall. Prior to this, on July 24, heavy rain was forecast across northern Vietnam, while central regions were expected to see milder sunshine. A tropical depression was also approaching the East Sea, signaling the onset of a period of heavy rain for the north. On July 22, central Vietnam was experiencing the peak of a heatwave, with afternoon thunderstorms predicted for the south. On July 21, severe heat continued to affect many areas in central Vietnam, with rainfall decreasing in the north. From the night of July 21 into the next day, northern rain was expected to lessen, with thunderstorms anticipated in the south. These weather forecasts have direct implications for fisheries and maritime transport in Vietnam's coastal and northern regions. Ensuring the safety of vessels in the typhoon's projected path is a top priority. Given Vietnam's extensive coastline and active fishing industry, accurate dissemination of weather information and swift responses are crucial for mitigating damage. Source: Nhan Dan
