Low pressure system in East Sea causes rainstorms

Thursday, June 13, 2013, 13:09 GMT+7

A low pressure system has formed in the northern East Sea, causing rainstorms and vortexes there. It may be upgraded into a tropical depression, the National Hydro-meteorological Forecasting Center reported.   The system formed at 1 am June 12 at 17.5-18.5 degrees north and 114.5-115.5 degrees east, near the Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago. The low pressure is moving very slowly and may be upgraded into a tropical depression, at a probability rate of 50-60 percent, said Le Thanh Hai, deputy director of the forecasting center.  Combined with  a strong southeast wind, the low pressure is causing rough seas with thunderstorms and whirlwinds between Binh Thuan and Ca Mau Provinces. The winds in this area may reach 39-45 kph, with gusts of up to 62 kph. Similar conditions are present in the waters from Ca Mau to the Gulf of Thailand, and the middle section of the East Sea, including the Truong Sa (Spratly) Islands, the center said.

Today, it will be sunny and less cloudy in northern provinces, and the highest temperature there will be 34 degree Celsius. There may be no rain during the day.

The center is continuing to monitor movements of the low pressure system.
