At 7:00 a.m. on July 21, the center of the low pressure area was at about 17-18 degrees North latitude, 114.5-115.5 degrees East longitude, about 340km East Northeast of Hoang Sa archipelago.

It is forecasted that in the next 24 hours, the low pressure area will move in the Northwest direction, traveling 10-15km per hour and may strengthen.

At 7:00 a.m. on July 22, the center of the low pressure area was at about 18.3-19.3 degrees North latitude, 113-114 degrees East longitude, 510 km North-Northeast of Hoang Sa archipelago.

Due to the influence of the low pressure circulation, there will be showers and thunderstorms in the sea area east of Hoang Sa archipelago; in the central and southern East Sea (including the sea area of ​​Truong Sa archipelago), the sea area from Ninh Thuan to Ca Mau will have showers and thunderstorms, strong southwest winds of level 5, sometimes level 6, gusting to level 7-8; in the area from Ca Mau to Kien Giang and the Gulf of Thailand there will be showers and thunderstorms. During the storm, there is a possibility of tornadoes and strong gusts of level 6-8.

According to Mr. Hoang Duc Cuong, Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, currently in the East of the Philippines, a low pressure area is forming that affects the low pressure area in the northern East Sea.

It is forecasted that in the next 3 to 5 days, the low pressure area in the East of the Philippines may develop into a storm and follow the Philippines to the Pacific Ocean.

Thus, in the next few days in the north and offshore, there will appear an interaction between storms, low pressure or tropical depressions interacting with each other, but there is no sign of the low pressure area approaching the coast of Vietnam.
