A tropical low pressure is entering the East Sea and is likely to strengthen into a typhoon with complicated developments, according to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.

Nguyen Van Huong, head of the Climate Forecast Office at the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said from the afternoon of December 29, the tropical depression will enter the East Sea along with a cold air mass, which will cause strong winds leveling at 10 category near the northern area of Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago.
