Typhoon Yagi : Vietnam

Typhoon Yagi has claimed 143 lives in northern Vietnam, with 58 still missing. Typhoon Yagi is the strongest to hit Vietnam in decades, with winds reaching 149 kph.

  • Vietnam and the Philippines are frequently affected by typhoons due to their geographic location in the Western Pacific, one of the most active typhoon basins in the world.
  • Both countries lie along the Pacific typhoon belt, where warm ocean waters and atmospheric conditions favour the formation of strong tropical storms.
  • Their long coastlines and low-lying areas also make them highly vulnerable to storm surges, flooding, and landslides triggered by typhoons.
  • Additionally, the seasonal monsoons intensify these weather systems, especially during the peak typhoon season from June to November.
