Khanh Hoa Warns of Storms, Hail on Land and Strong Winds at Sea

Khanh Hoa province in Vietnam is bracing for severe weather as the Department of Meteorology issued multiple warnings for dangerous conditions. Residents on land can expect thunderstorms, lightning, tornadoes, and hail, while coastal areas will face strong winds. The department has classified the natural disaster risks associated with these phenomena as levels 1 and 2.

Weather radar indicates that storm cells are currently developing over several communes and wards, including Dai Lanh, Tu Bong, Van Thang, and Van Ninh. These conditions are forecast to intensify and spread to surrounding areas within the next six hours.

In addition to the land-based threats, the waters off Khanh Hoa and the Truong Sa (Spratly Islands) archipelago are experiencing strong southwesterly winds. These winds are expected to reach level 6, with gusts up to level 7 or 8, causing rough seas. The risk level for natural disasters due to these strong winds at sea is rated as level 2.

Authorities are urging all fishermen and relevant units to closely monitor the weather developments and take necessary measures to ensure safety. All vessels and activities in the affected sea areas are at high risk of being impacted by the strong winds.
