On September 16, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Vietnamese National Centre for Hydro Meteorological Forecasting (VNCHMF) reported that a tropical depression had developed within an area of low to moderate vertical windshear, about 1,000 km (620 mi) to the southeast of Hà Nội, Vietnam. [1] [2] [3] Over the next two days the depression gradually developed further as it moved westwards, before the VNCHMF reported during September 17, that the system had developed into their eighth tropical storm of the season. [4] [5] Later that day as vertical windshear over the system decreased slightly, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert. [6] During the next day after the depressions low level circulation center had started to consolidate, the JTWC initiated advisories and designated the system as Tropical Depression 18W. [7] During that day the system moved westwards along the southern edge of the subtropical ridge of high pressure, before the JTWC issued its final warning on the system later that day after the depression had made landfall on Vietnam, near the port city of Da Nang. [5] [7] [8] Over the next couple of days the system continued to move westwards and moved through Vietnam, Laos and Thailand, before it was last noted on September 21 over the Thai province of Phetchabun. [9]

Impact

Vietnam

On September 17, one of the deputy prime ministers of Vietnam Hoàng Trung Hải, asked the Central Committee for Flood and Storm Control and the National Committee for Search and Rescue, to be prepared for the system impacting Vietnam. [10] He also asked local authorities and border guards to call on vessels, between Quang Binh and Phu Yen provinces to take shelter and evacuate people in vulnerable areas to higher places. [10] Several ministries and agencies were tasked to inspect the safety of dams and reservoirs in response to possible flooding. [10]

During September 18, the system made landfall on Vietnam with provinces from Thừa Thiên–Huế and Quảng Nam provinces affected by a moderate rain, heavy rain and flooding [11] [12]

Storm and rain storm caused the provinces of Khanh Hoa to Nghe An and north west Highlands, along with a flood to 10 dead and 12 missing, 6 wounded. [12] Đắk Lắk Province suffered the worst of people and property, with 5 dead and 7 missing. [13] More than 2,000 home houses were flooded, 2,100 households in Ea Sup district emergency relocation. Thousands of hectares of rice and crops damaged. Many roads were flooded Ea Sup districts of fragmentation in some areas. [14]

In Hà Tĩnh, due to the storm, in Hà Tĩnh heavy rain, wind tugging at category 6 to 7 of Beaufort scale and tornadoes cause more damage to the people. The total damage caused by a tornado more than VND 500 million (US$24,000). [15] In Nghe An, 13 people killed by floods, total damage reached VND 392 billion (US$18.6 million). [16] In Nam Dong (Thua Thien Hue Province), the total damage caused about VND 1.9 billion (US$90,000). [17]

In Da Nang and Quảng Nam Province, Department of Education and Training at two local students have to leave school to avoid the storm. [18] Total damage in Vietnam reached 817.91 billion dong (US$35.6 million). [19]

Other areas

Within Laos severe flooding was reported with at least 10,000 structures damaged and economic losses reaching $61 million. [20] The depression also produced heavy rainfall, within north-eastern, central and eastern parts of Thailand. [21] Flash flooding was reported within the provinces of Kamphang Phet, Tak, Nan, Phetchabun, Phitsanulok, Khon Kaen, Ubon Ratchathani, Surin, Si Sa Ket, Nakhon Ratchasima, Amnat Charoen, Buri Ram, Nakhon Sawan, Lop Buri, Kanchanaburi, Sa Kaeo, Prachin Buri and Nakhon Nayok. [21]

Aftermath

Many meteorology departments stated that the system was a tropical depression, but the Vietnamese Meteorological and Hydrological Administration would state that the system had peaked as a tropical storm. [22] [23] [24]

Mr. Bui Minh Tang confirms Da Nang city for the entire school students after the storm ends because of the Center's newsletter afternoon September 18 is reasonable, because this time there's heavy rain, but on 19 September is back to school "bit careful". [23] [24] [25]

The September 2009 Vietnam tropical depression was a weak tropical depression that caused deadly flooding throughout central Vietnam in early September. Forming out of an area of low pressure on September 3, the depression hardly intensified as it meandered off the coast of Vietnam. Initially situated in a favorable environment, convective banding features began to develop and shower and thunderstorm activity formed near the center. On September 4, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert; however, a sudden increase in wind shear caused the system to rapidly become disorganized, leading to the cancellation of the alert the next day. The system continued to slowly track off the coast of Vietnam, nearly dissipating on September 5, before becoming better organized. However, the depression remained weak, with the JTWC reporting on September 7 that the depression had dissipated, though the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) continued to issue advisories until the depression dissipated during September 9.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2020 Pacific typhoon season</span>

The 2020 Pacific typhoon season was the first of an ongoing series of below average Pacific typhoon seasons, and became the first with below-average tropical cyclone activity since 2014, with 23 named storms, 10 of which became typhoons and only 2 became super typhoons. This low activity was a consequence of La Niña that persisted from the summer of the year. It had the sixth-latest start in the basin on record, slightly behind 1973, and was the first to start that late since 2016. The first half of the season was unusually inactive, with only four systems, two named storms and one typhoon at the end of July. Additionally, the JTWC recorded no tropical cyclone development in the month of July, the first such occurrence since reliable records began. The season's first named tropical cyclone, Vongfong, developed on May 8, while the season's last named tropical cyclone, Krovanh, dissipated on December 24. However, the season's last system was an unnamed tropical depression which dissipated on December 29.

The floods focused heavily in several provinces including Thừa Thiên Huế, Hà Tĩnh, Quảng Bình, Quảng Trị, and Quảng Ngãi. The floods were mainly caused by the seasonal monsoon, though enhanced by numerous tropical cyclones.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tropical Storm Linfa</span> Pacific tropical storm in 2020

Tropical Storm Linfa was a weak, short-lived but deadly and destructive tropical cyclone that was the twelfth wettest tropical cyclone on record and the second of nine tropical cyclones in a row to strike Vietnam in 2020, a little under a month after the less damaging Tropical Storm Noul. The fifteenth named storm of the 2020 Pacific typhoon season, Linfa originated from a tropical depression which formed just to the west of the Philippines on October 6. After passing through the island nation, the storm emerged into the South China Sea and slowly gained strength, earning the name Linfa on October 10 on approach to Vietnam. On the next day, Linfa had reached peak strength and made landfall in Vietnam, marking the beginning of a devastating series of floods in the country and worsening the already active monsoon season. Linfa quickly dissipated as it moved inland, but associated thunderstorms continued for several days.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tropical Storm Koguma</span> Pacific tropical storm in 2021

Tropical Storm Koguma was a weak tropical cyclone that made landfall in Vietnam, causing minor damage. The fourth named storm of the 2021 Pacific typhoon season, the system was first noted as an area of persistent convection on the South China Sea on June 10, with the JTWC assessing the system in its first advisory as a monsoon depression. Tracking west-northwestward, marginally conductive environmental conditions in the area allowed slight intensification while drifting towards Hainan Island. On the next day, the JMA upgraded the system to a tropical depression as it passed to the south of the territory before the agency upgraded the system to a tropical storm on June 12, being assigned the name Koguma. The JTWC; however still treated the system as a tropical depression until 12:00 UTC that day. It continued to move northwest over the warm waters of the Gulf of Tonkin, eventually making landfall in Vietnam over Thanh Hóa by the end of the same day, rapidly weakening afterward.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tropical cyclones in Vietnam</span>

Vietnam is a southeast Asian country, and is the easternmost country of mainland Southeast Asia. It borders the East Sea, hence, seeing the increased likeliness of tropical cyclones. Tropical cyclones in this area are considered to be part of the Northwest Pacific basin, and therefore, storms here are considered as typhoons.
