On Feb 1 (the 2nd day of the Lunar New Year), foreign weather forecasting websites warned that a storm called Kajiki is moving fast towards the center of the East Sea and is likely to have impacts on Vietnam.
According to a Japanese forecasting website, the storm was seen on the east of the Philippines' Sulu sea. The storm was moving relatively fast, at 35km/hour in the west western north direction, with gusts measuring at 8-9 levels near its eye.
The storm then moved mostly westwards into the east-southern area of the East Sea and became the first active storm on the sea in 2014.
The Kajiki storm is forecast to slow down to 25km/hour and be above the east-southern area of the East Sea by tomorrow, Feb 2.
Meanwhile, a Hongkong weather forecasting site predicted that after entering the East Sea, the Kajiki storm will move mostly in the west-northern direction to above the northern area of Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago, where it will change to the west-southern direction.
If the storm maintains its pace as predicted, it’s likely that the weather in some Vietnamese areas will be influenced, the Hongkong site warned.
