Vietnam Net - E | English | News | Dec. 2, 2025 | Extreme Weather Events
The tropical depression rapidly dissipated over the southern East Sea on November 29, degrading into a low-pressure area with wind speeds below 39 km/h. It moved northeast at 10–15 km/h before fully dissipating within 12 hours, posing no further threat of strong winds at sea. This marks the final advisory on the tropical depression, though updates for Typhoon Koto and related marine conditions will continue.
Typhoon Koto, located over the northwestern central East Sea on the same day, maintained wind speeds of level 9 (75–88 km/h) near its eye, with gusts up to level 11. The typhoon was drifting north at about 5 km/h and is expected to slow to 3–5 km/h over the coming days. Its forecasted path includes moving north through November 30, then shifting west on December 1, and southwest by December 2 towards Vietnam’s south-central coast.
The typhoon is expected to weaken rapidly starting December 1, dropping from level 9 to level 8 winds, and further weakening as it approaches the offshore area near Quang Ngai–Dak Lak. It is likely to degrade into a tropical depression upon nearing this coastline. The northwestern central East Sea will experience winds of level 7, with stronger winds of level 8–9 and gusts at level 11 near the typhoon’s center. Waves in the affected areas will be 3–5 meters high, with localized peaks up to 7 meters, resulting in extremely rough sea conditions and significant risks for vessels due to thunderstorms, strong winds, and high waves.
