Storm Noru, one of the strongest storms in 20 years, entered the East Sea early on Monday and headed for Da Nang and its neighboring central regions.
The storm was 810 km from the Vietnamese Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago at 4 am Monday with a wind speed of 118-149 km/h. According to the National Center for Hydrometeorological Prediction, it will be 410 km from the archipelago at 22:00 Monday and will move at a speed of 20-25 km/h on Tuesday, helped by passing through the warm sea area.

The National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting warns that due to the influence of a tropical depression, which is likely to develop into a storm, strong winds with sea waves 3-5 m high will blow in the northern part of the East Sea (including the waters of the Hoang Sa archipelago).
