Storms and tropical depressions will appear continuously this year

According to the Central Hydrometeorological Forecast Center, from now to the end of 2016, there will be 6-8 storms and tropical depressions operating in the South China Sea, of which 3-4 will directly affect to the mainland of Vietnam.

The possibility of heavy rain and heavy rain caused floods and flash floods . to appear more frequently in the months from the end of this summer to the beginning of winter, especially in the autumn months in the central coastal region. Therefore, localities in this area should soon have appropriate solutions to regulate hydropower reservoirs, avoid flooding and direct appropriate agricultural production.

It is likely that tropical storms and low pressure will appear more than average in many years in the Central region, especially Central and South Central, along with heavy rain caused by storms and tropical depressions in the areas. This area is very high.

This development requires the government to have timely solutions and proactively prevent storms and floods, regulate appropriate hydropower reservoirs, avoid the "flood of floods" causing great damage to the community.

Professor Tran Thuc, Vice Chairman of the Advisory Council of the National Committee on Climate Change, said that after the strong and prolonged El Nino period caused severe drought in many regions, especially the South, South Central, Central Highlands, according to climate rules, will often have La Nina phenomenon appear when El Nino ends.

At present, sea surface temperature monitoring data (SST) show that ocean-atmospheric conditions are in normal state (intermediate phase) and are expected to continue for the next 3 months. Forecasting from the combination of ocean-atmosphere models, La Nina phenomenon is likely to appear at the end of Fall 2016 in Vietnam with a probability of about 70%.

In fact, in the years with La Nina, storms and tropical depressions affecting Vietnam are often more than 38%. But typhoons and tropical low pressures will end late, the Northeast monsoon will operate early and flood will appear with higher frequency than 2015, especially in the Central region.

In the winter of 2016 and 2017, it is likely that there will be low records of temperature in the North, especially in the Northern mountains, so the production activities are affected by low temperatures such as livestock, Agricultural, forestry and tourist production . in localities affected.
