Storm Bualoi enters the East Sea, likely to greatly affect mainland Vietnam
Storm Bualoi has strengthened to level 12 and is expected to enter the East Sea on the night of September 26, potentially having a major impact on mainland Vietnam.
On the morning of September 25, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that storm Bualoi had reached level 12 intensity. It is forecast that by the night of September 26, this storm will enter the East Sea and officially become storm number 10 in 2025.
According to analysis, Bualoi is currently the 20th storm forming in the Northwest Pacific region. Although it has reached strong intensity, the storm structure is still in the process of being completed and stabilized.

International forecast models currently show that the trajectory and intensity of Typhoon Bualoi are still scattered. As the cloud system consolidates, assessments of its track and intensity will become more accurate.
The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting is continuously monitoring to provide the latest updates, helping authorities and people proactively respond.
According to preliminary assessments, Typhoon Bualoi is unlikely to reach the same peak intensity as Typhoon Ragasa. However, its impact on Vietnam’s mainland is forecast to be similar, and at some points even greater.
