Study Notes
Super Typhoon Yagi Overview
- Yagi is the most powerful storm to impact the South China Sea in 30 years, as reported by the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.
- The storm is moving towards the northern Vietnam coast at a speed of 15-20 kph, with wind speeds reaching 201 kph.
- Super typhoons generally originate in the northwestern Pacific Ocean and typically weaken upon entering the East Sea.
Unprecedented Characteristics
- It is unusual for a super typhoon to form directly over the East Sea; historically, no storm has intensified into a super typhoon after entering this region.
- Typhoon Yagi's rapid intensification is a rare phenomenon for storms in the East Sea.
- Previous significant storms in the region include Ellen, Betty, Angela, Megi, Usagi, and Haiyan, but none match Yagi in strength.
Historical Context and Impacts
- Typhoon Mirinae made landfall in June 2016, leading to three fatalities, four people missing, sinking of 12 vessels, damage to 1,430 houses, and inundation of over 196,000 hectares of rice fields.
- Warnings highlight the potential for severe damage from Yagi due to strong winds, rough seas, and heavy rainfall.
Expected Conditions and Warnings
- Gales are anticipated to hit the Mong Cai area in Quang Ninh between 1-4 a.m. on Saturday, escalating throughout the day.
- Areas like Lang Son, Bac Giang, Hai Duong, Hung Yen, Ha Nam, Ninh Binh, and Thanh Hoa will experience weaker winds as the storm moves inland.
- Rainfall in northern Vietnam could reach up to 500 mm by Monday, starting on Saturday and spreading westward.
Precautionary Measures
- Residents in coastal regions such as Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Thai Binh, Nam Dinh, and Ninh Binh are advised to stay indoors during heavy rains.
- Those in mountainous and midland areas are at increased risk for floods and landslides, necessitating potential evacuations and property safeguards.
