“Between November 10 and 11, super typhoon Fung-wong is likely to enter the northeastern part of the East Sea,” the weather center reported.

Speaking with VietNamNet, Le Dinh Quyet, head of the forecasting division at the Southern Regional Hydrometeorological Center, stated that Fung-wong could become storm number 14 in the East Sea this year, with very strong intensity.

“Initial forecasts suggest the storm is more likely to move northward and is unlikely to directly impact the mainland of Vietnam,” Quyet said.

Japan's Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported this morning that Fung-wong is currently packing winds of level 11, gusting to level 14, and may strengthen further to reach super typhoon status today.

The typhoon is moving west-northwest at a speed of about 25 km/h.

It is expected to approach Luzon Island (Philippines) before entering the northern East Sea around November 11.

Although the storm is still far from Vietnam, forecasting models indicate that a direct landfall in the country is unlikely.

However, the storm may still generate strong winds, heavy rainfall, and high waves across northern and central areas of the East Sea in the coming days.

Meteorologists at the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting anticipate that Fung-wong will likely be designated storm number 14 in the East Sea in 2025.

Currently, the storm is projected to move northward, though recent updates show a slight westward shift in its path.

Authorities are closely monitoring the storm's trajectory.

Meanwhile, Typhoon Kalmaegi made landfall late on November 6 across Quang Ngai, Gia Lai, and Dak Lak, causing significant damage to both people and property.

As of this morning, Kalmaegi has weakened into a low-pressure system over southern Laos and is gradually dissipating.

However, weather agencies continue to warn authorities and residents to remain alert for potential flash floods and landslides, particularly in the mountainous western and south-central regions.
